Miller: Players are embarrasse­d

- By Fraser Mackie

KENNY MILLER insists Rangers are ‘ashamed and embarrasse­d’ after their 5-1 thrashing at home to bitter rivals Celtic.

The Ibrox captain netted an 81st-minute consolatio­n for the home side to make it 4-1 before Mikael Lustig completed the rout.

Miller then hit the mark by fronting up after the match about the devastatin­g result — a fifth defeat suffered in six Old Firm meetings this season.

‘Disappoint­ed isn’t a strong enough word,’ stated Miller, who signed a new one-year contract on the eve of the game.

‘The boys feel ashamed to play a part in a performanc­e like that. We’re embarrasse­d by the result.

‘A lot was levelled against us last week about not getting close to them, not laying a glove on them.

‘I wouldn’t say that here but, ultimately, it wasn’t good enough.

‘The goals we lost were poor, as were the decisions which led to them. It was all wrong.

‘In the last six days, we haven’t got close enough to a level that would have allowed us to challenge Celtic in either game.’
