Writing in his column for The Evening Times, former Rangers hero Lee McCulloch believes Graeme Murty should select Kenny Miller for this weekend's massive Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic.

What's the story?

Sunday's fixture represents Rangers' last chance to win silverware this season and an opportunity to show progress has been made against Celtic this season.

Having failed to beat the Hoops since Brendan Rodgers arrived at the club, it's an enormous task for Graeme Murty and his men but Lee McCulloch reckons that selecting Miller will go a long way towards securing a result.

Writing for The Evening Times, the former Gers captain said:

On an occasion like this, you need to use your experience and there is nobody more experienced than Kenny Miller. I know it is only one game and one goal, but he came in and his confidence will be high. He would be in my side.

The way Celtic play, you are all but guaranteed that they will score. So Rangers need to score at least twice if they are going to win.

Having Miller and Morelos in there gives you a real threat. You need to turn up with a belief that you are going to win the game and you need to set out to win it.

Can Kenny Miller be the difference in what will be a high tempo, high pressure match?

Derby hero

Miller has one of the greatest scoring records against Celtic of any Rangers player, scoring 10 goals in 18 matches including one in a Scottish Cup semi-final which the Light Blues went on to win on penalties.

Although he's been a less important figure at the club this term, he has scored five goals and created five assists, demonstrating he still has what it takes to produce for the club.

It'd be a big ask for him to start Sunday's match but perhaps a role from the bench would be more suitable if the game is tight in the second half.

There aren't many other players you'd fancy more to bag a goal on the big stage against the Hoops than the former Scotland international.
