Miller does it again

Miller does it again

Kenny Miller was again the hero for Rangers as the Glasgow giants beat St Johnstone 2-1 in the Scottish Premier League on Saturday.

The defending champions were shell shocked early as they found themselves a goal down at Ibrox when Danny Grainer fired home from long range for the visitors on 26 minutes.

The goal stunned Rangers into action however and it wasn't long before they had drawn level.

Bosnian full back Sasa Papac was the man to do it, scrambling the ball home in the 33rd minute after good work from on-loan Manchester City winger Vladimir Weiss on the flank.

Rangers dominated after the interval, and eventually it was Miller who gave them the lead, running on to Lee McCulloch's precise through ball to net his fifth goal of the campaign and give the defending champions their third straight win of the season.

Hamilton picked up its first points of the season after a first minute goal from Doug Imrie gave them the win away at Inverness.

Imrie produced a scorcher from 30 yards that left Inverness keeper Ryan Esson helpless, and the visitors hung on to their lead for the remaining 90 minutes to record a morale boosting victory.

And an injury time winner from Jamie Hamill gave Kilmarnock their first points of the season while consigning Aberdeen to their first loss.

Both sides had their chances but it was the visitors who were creating the better opportunities, with David Silva squandering a one-on-one opportunity with the Aberdeen keeper with 15 minutes remaining.

Mahamadou Sissoko also had a shot cleared off the line and Kilmarnock has a late penalty appeal turned down, before Hamill bobbed up in the 92nd, latching on to James Dayton's pass and coolly slotting the winner.
