Miller relishing Old Firm encounter

31 December 2010 08:00
Rangers striker Kenny Miller has been counting down the minutes to this weekend's Old Firm derby for weeks. Miller has enjoyed a decent return in the famous fixture in the past and netted a double as Rangers ran out 3-1 winners over Celtic in October. Having played for both clubs, Miller has more experience than most of the tussles between the Glasgow giants but insists he still relishes the build-up to derby day. He told Blues News: "I look forward to the games for a good month or six weeks beforehand. They are special fixtures and I love playing in them and I've been fortunate that I've managed to get on the scoresheet in the games quite regularly since I came back. "I love these games and I just look forward to them. Maybe it's through experience of playing through them and knowing what's at stake in them. Some people maybe come into their first or second derby, or they are a bit younger, and it might affect them. "Maybe they are not expecting the atmosphere or the pace of the game because it is frantic, especially at the start of a game. But I look forward to them and that's something that will never change."
