KENNY MILLER insisted his team-mates won’t be as wasteful again this season after their off day at Alloa.

Rangers created enough chances to win three games, but came away with just a point, a result that was easier to take when Hibs failed to win at Livingston.

Miller remained confident his side would get over the line and into the Ladbrokes SPFL Premiership and that the goals would come because the players were too good to allow one bad performance to overtly affect them.

The veteran striker said: “There is one thing the manager is preaching it to us day in day out – we just do what we do.

"We turn up and play our game.

“If we play that way and create that level of chance in the last 12 games then I’ll be more than happy. We can’t create those sort of chances again and not score three or four goals.

“The players in that dressing room are too good to continue missing the chances we created at Alloa. If we do that then we’ll be fine.”

“We work on it every single week. The situations that you see us put in on a Saturday are the situations we work at day- in, day-out.

"It is just bad luck, call it what you will. I thought we had enough chances in the Kilmarnock game to win. We should have won that game.

“Against Alloa we should have won comfortably, but we didn’t. We have to put it right. It might just be a wee blip and on the back of it we might go and bang in three or four on Tuesday.”

Rangers are at Rugby Park for their Scottish cup replay and while a quarter-final home tie with either Dundee or Dumbarton would be another big game to look forward to, especially if high-flying Dundee visited Ibrox, Miller recognised that this upcoming game is some way from being vital in the context of this season.

He said: “The league is the priority, but at this football club you need to win cups and leagues.

"The league is always the main priority, particularly this season. We need to get back to the top league, but it is a cup competition and we want to win that and we want to go down there and win.”

Rangers go to Easter Road in March for a game that could decide this season. A win for the Ibrox men could all-but guarantee them automatic promotion.

And Miller is confident that no matter what his old team get up to, it is the one he plays for now that are in the driving seat.

Miller said: “We’re not interested in what Hibs are doing. We’re ahead in the league. If we win our remaining games we’ll win the league, it’s as simple as that.

“If we create the chances that we did against Alloa then I’ll be more than happy come the end of the season and we’ll go up.”
