Former Ibrox ace Lee McCulloch has hailed Rangers ace Kenny Miller.

Former Rangers captain Lee McCulloch has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he would like to see Kenny Miller and Alfredo Morelos start together against Celtic.

The Gers beat Dundee 4-0 at Ibrox on Saturday afternoon to snap a run of three league games without a win, with Graeme Murty picking up a much-needed win.

Rangers now face a stern test on Sunday, as they face Celtic in the latest Old Firm derby, this time in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup at Hampden Park.

The Gers haven’t beaten Celtic since returning to the top flight of Scottish football, and many are desperate to see Rangers finally grab a win over the Bhoys for the first time in two years.

Murty will have a number of selection decisions to make, and one of them will be to decide his attack, after seeing both Kenny Miller and Alfredo Morelos score in the win over Dundee.

Murty could start both players against Celtic, and former captain Lee McCulloch has urged the Rangers boss to do just that in his interview with the Glasgow Evening Times.

McCulloch has suggested that the pair can cause real problems to the Celtic back line having seen Miller impress against Dundee – and whilst Murty could also feature January signing Jason Cummings in attack, as many fans have asked for, McCulloch believes it should be Miller and Morelos in attack.

“Alfredo Morelos has caused Celtic problems at times this season and he can do so again. I know everyone will talk about his miss, but he has scored goals and will be desperate to get one against Celtic,” said McCulloch.

“I think there is a case for going with Miller and Morelos this weekend. When you have got Kenny, on a goal and a good performance, it is so hard to look past him. He has got huge experience, he knows what it takes in Old Firm games and I would have him in the team. If you have the two of them, that gives you plenty of threat to go and win the game,” he added.
