HE has been there, done it and got the T-shirt. He has had the medal round his neck, lifted the silverware and sprayed the champagne. Next time, it could be one of the most special moments in the game for Kenny Miller, though.

At 36, the striker is in the twilight of his career but he could be on the brink of an achievement few would have thought possible as Rangers bid for Scottish Cup success this season.

After clinching the Championship title and Petrofac Training Cup this term, Mark Warburton’s side are now attempting to turn a good season into a great one.

Miller has collected a host of medals throughout his sterling career and will look to fire the Gers to another when they face Hibernian at Hampden next weekend.

Cup success has eluded Rangers on The Journey until this term, but a third medal to complete a unique Treble is now firmly fixed in their sights.

“I am in my second year back now but I am sure before that they were still hopeful of going and being successful in the cup competitions,” Miller said.

“It is a mindset at this club. We might have been down the leagues, but I don’t think you can change your mindset.

“You need to be aiming to win every competition you are in, which everyone does say. But I think it was a realistic goal for us this year for us and we could go on and achieve it.

“It has been a really good season for us. We have got to the cup final now and it becomes an added pressure.

“Had we not made the final, we wouldn’t be talking about winning it. We are in the final game of the season, it is the pinnacle of the season and we want to be involved in it.

“That comes with an added pressure and we need to go and finish the job. There is no point getting to this stage, having the high of beating Celtic if you don’t go and finish the job. It would definitely put a dampener on the holidays

“[It would be] right up there [for me]. If we can go and finish the job it will be a huge achievement for everybody involved. As I say, we are in a lower league.

“To go and win it and achieve European football a year, maybe two years, earlier than what we might have expected would be great.

“Everything that comes with victory next Saturday would definitely be right up there with the biggest achievements of my career.”

The countdown is on at Murray Park to the most significant 90 minutes of the campaign but the build-up has been ongoing for some time already.

It is a fortnight since Rangers rounded off their time in the Championship with a 2-2 draw at St Mirren before going into a period of inactivity that is far from ideal.

The Gers were put through their paces as they beat Tottenham in a bounce game on Wednesday and Miller is confident Warburton’s side will be in prime shape for their shot at glory.

He said: “A week, ten days, two weeks would probably have been perfect just to give any knocks and niggles a chance to dispel.

“You could probably have had a mix of rest and recovery and hard training as well. This is probably a wee bit too long but it is what it is.

“We had a good rest at the start of the month, a right cracking workout the other day down at Spurs and obviously now it’s a normal week’s preparation.

“We’ve got a good group. We’ve said all along what the goals were this season, this being one of them. We wanted to finish on a high, winning the cup, so that doesn’t change.

“Normally you’re going from week to week, preparing for the next game and moving on to it. This has been different because we’ve not had that to focus on.

“But the game on Wednesday was a fantastic workout against a really good team. The lads were right up for it and put in a really good performance – probably just what we needed right in the middle of the build-up.”

The Spurs test gave Warburton’s side a chance to top up their fitness and regain their sharpness ahead of the final days of preparation next week.

It was also a valuable exercise for Martyn Waghorn as he continued his recovery from a knee injury by getting more match minutes under his belt.

And Miller is confident his strike partner will be able to make an impact at Hampden if boss Warburton pitches him into the final showdown.

He said: “If he is chosen to play then the manger will feel he is more than right.

“Personally, I think he has looked decent since he has come back. He has been training for a while now.

“The manager has been holding him back and holding him back for the right reasons – to make sure that he is going to be ready to play competitive football.

“He has been training for a while now. I have said before, we train well, we train hard, every day all season so that in itself will get him up to speed and to a good level.

“The hour or that he got against St. Mirren, the 75 or 80 minutes that he got the other day in a really high intensity game.

“Okay, it was a closed doors game, but there was a real intensity about the performance from both sets of players. That will definitely have been a big benefit to him. To be honest, he looked good.”
