Celtic loanee faces Rangers this weekend.
Celtic sent Calvin Miller out on loan so he could gain experience and this weekend he has the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his quality.
The Celtic loanee takes on their Old Firm rivals Rangers, playing for Dundee.
Miller’s Dundee sit bottom of the league and the season ahead looks like being a tough slog, as they sit with no points after five games.
The game against Rangers is an opportunity for Miller to catch the eye, and show he can be trusted long term by Celtic if Kieran Tierney is ever granted a big money move away.
Celtic did hand Miller a contract extension to 2020 last month before sending him on loan, with Dundee beating competition from Sunderland for his signature.
Remaining in the Scottish Premiership means he can impress Celtic more closely at hand, and the game against Rangers is an ideal measuring stick for Miller.
Miller could have to deal with the roughhouse tactics of Kyle Lafferty if he drifts wide, and he must show he is up to the physical test and will now be cowed by the Northern Ireland forward.
A poor display won’t mean Miller can’t make it at Celtic, it would just mean he has more work to do.
A strong performance would not only do Celtic a favour if he can help deny Rangers a win, it may also help fast-track his parent club’s plans for him.
