Kenny Miller’s Old Firm goal was the cue for quite a lot of Kenny Miller jokes

Yes, *that* Kenny Miller

SportsJOE

Kenny Miller loves scoring goals.

Kenny Miller loves scoring derby goals (and Derby goals).

Kenny Miller especially loves scoring in the Old Firm game, having scored in last season’s Scottish Cup semi-final victory for Rangers, as well as finding the net during previous spells with both them and Celtic.

So any fan of either club won’t have been surprised to see the veteran open the scoring in the first Ibrox meeting between the Old Firm this season.

Moussa Dembele has subsequently equalised for the Bhoys with a belter.

Of course, if you’re not au fait with Scottish football you might be surprised to see him still around. And that certainly seemed to be the prevailing emotion even before the 37-year-old found the net.

Those who watched the Scottish international at his previous clubs were shocked to learn that he hasn’t yet hung up his boots.

And when he opened the scoring, that only intensified.

Will he ever retire?

Of course, others cannot avoid making jokes at the expense of Rangers’ recent history
