Kenny Miller insists Rangers have put their Old Firm defeat behind them and are now looking ahead to this weekend's SPL trophy presentation.[LNB] And the striker is determined to see the Scottish champions return to winning ways against Motherwell on Sunday when they finally get their hands on the silverware.[LNB]Miller notched his 21st goal of the season at Parkhead but it was not enough to prevent Rangers from slumping to defeat against their bitter rivals, with goals from Lee Naylor and Marc Antoine Fortune sealing the victory for Celtic.[LNB]The result may have been a disappointment for Walter Smith's men but Miller claims they will not be dwelling on events in the east end of Glasgow for too long, as they bid to end another successful season with a flourish this weekend.[LNB]"We've kept going," he told the club's website.[LNB]"The fixtures haven't been too kind to us after the split as we ended up with three tough away games.[LNB]"Having gone to Easter Road and won the title, won at Tannadice and performed as we have has been encouraging.[LNB]"Sadly, it wasn't to be for us last night but we'll look ahead to Sunday now and it's what we've been working towards for so long.[LNB]"It's the pinnacle of the season for us and we're looking forward to it, although we'll need to make sure we get the right result so that we enjoy it."[LNB]Boss Smith admits Celtic were out of the traps quicker than his own side.[LNB]But he was disappointed that an improved second-half performance, and several opportunities on goal, did not yield a better outcome.[LNB]"It was disappointing and I don't like losing," he said.[LNB]"Celtic were the better side in the first half of the game and we never really got started in terms of our own possession of the ball.[LNB]"Once we got the goal back, I hoped we would settle down and maybe carry on from there but we gave away another goal and it was slack defensively from our own point of view.[LNB]"In the first half we didn't do too well but I thought we played better in the second half, we had far better possession of the ball and created more opportunities.[LNB]"We were disappointed that we didn't manage to at least get back on level terms again."
