Kenny Miller: 'Rangers don't fear Celtic'

Rangers striker Kenny Miller insists that his side do not fear Celtic after being drawn against their Old Firm rivals in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.

Rangers striker Kenny Miller has insisted that his side do not fear Old Firm rivals Celtic after being drawn together in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup.

The two fierce rivals have not faced off for more than a year, with their derby matches having been limited to cup competitions since Rangers were demoted to the bottom tier of Scottish football in 2012.

Rangers are on course to return to the top flight this season, and Miller believes that his side can take their league form into their match against the Scottish champions.

"There was every chance we were going to get them at some point, and as we said after the game yesterday, we don't fear anyone. Whoever we drew was just going to be standing in the way of our goal which is to win the Scottish Cup, and I've said all along, we have to get past Celtic if we want to win it," Miller told the club's official website.

"It will be a tough game as all the games are, but I am fully confident if we go about the job in the way we know we can that we can get the right result. The manager has got us playing and has got us believing in the way we are playing, and that will never change no matter who we play. If we can perform and do the right things that we do day in and day out, it can all come to fruition as it did yesterday.

"I thought to a man the lads were excellent both offensively and defensively in terms of scoring goals, creating chances and keeping the back door shut. It was a pretty whole performance from start to finish, and if we can go and emulate that and do the right things which we talk about all the time, then there is no reason why we can't go and get the right result."

The semi-final will take place at Hampden Park on the weekend of April 16/17.
