Well, unless Rangers appeal the decision

There is no doubt that Kenny Miller has been in fine form of late. The player, who can sometimes be infuriating, is definitely a handy player to have around when things are going his way.

Six goals in his three games prior to tonight indicate this.

When things aren’t going for the striker though, he is akin to being a man down.

And that is the way Miller left Rangers tonight as he received a straight red card for clashing with Darren Dods.

It appeared that Miller’s boots made contact with the Dundee United centre half’s face and there did not appear to be too many complaints about the referee’s decision to send Miller off.

Ordinarily, this would rule Miller out of the Celtic versus Rangers game on Sunday but a red card for violent conduct can be appealed.

Rangers successfully did this at the tail end of last season after Madjid Bougherra was sent off for putting his boot into the face of Aberdeen goalkeeper Jamie Langfield.

So far, all so similar, so if Rangers are able to put an appeal in again, they may be able to play Miller against Celtic.

It would certainly be interesting to see what the plan of action from Rangers before the big game is.

On a more relevant issue, Miller’s sending off sees his team playing out the rest of the game a man light when compared to United.

With thirty minutes to go, Rangers lead 3-1.
