Kenny: Fans must get behind team

Aug 10 2008

BOO-BOYS target Kenny Miller last night urged angry Rangers fans to stick by the players and roar them to SPL glory.

Punters are furious after the shock midweek defeat by FBK Kaunas sent Gers crashing out of Europe.

Former Celtic striker Miller has taken flak since returning for a second spell at Ibrox and some fans clearly don't rate him. But he has pleaded with supporters to stay behind the team as they try to stop the Hoops claiming four-in-a-row.

He said: "My message to the fans is stick with us. Everyone is bitterly disappointed there will be no European football.

"Champions League nights at Ibrox are great and can make your season. But the supporters have to to stick with us and it's crucial we get off to a good start in the SPL.

"I expected to be in the Champions League because Europe comes with the territory here. I hope it's an angry Rangers going into the SPL because we need a positive reaction. We must show character and can't feel sorry for ourselves."
