KENNY MILLER admits Rangers cannot afford any more slip ups this season after hitting rock bottom on and off the park.

Kenny McDowall's side crashed to a 2-0 Old Firm defeat on Sunday as their miserable campaign continued.

The Gers are 16 points off the pace in the Championship title race and are under severe pressure as boardroom battles continue to cast a dark shadow over the club.

It has been far from the Ibrox return Miller would have hoped for after he rejoined Rangers in the summer, and the striker knows things must improve.

He said: "Well, to be honest with you, I do not know that on the field or off the field that it can be that much worse.

"I do not think we have played particularly well this year at all. We are always going to win games because, arguably, we have better players than the other teams but, for me, we have to win games by showing a bit more in the way we play in terms of performance rather than results.

"We have to get better. If we want to get back into the title race then we cannot slip up too many more times in the last 15, 16 games we have.

"I do not think we can afford to slip up too much. Hearts got beaten last week - breaking their fantastic run - so who knows what can happen?

"Everybody has to look at themselves first and foremost, but football is a team game. You can afford a couple of guys to be off their game if you have another nine guys on it.

"But at the moment we have maybe got three or four who are on it and five or six who are not on it.

"It is important we come together as a team. Individually, our performances need to be better but, more importantly, collectively we need to start performing and we need to start helping each other.

"We need to find a way to find some cohesion in the group that is going to take us that next step."
