Three days after putting in multiple media appearances at Hampden Kenny Miller is deeper in denial than ever.
Only a fool would deny that there is a big gap between the two Glasgow clubs, that Celtic are ahead in every area and are string favourites to complete this season’s treble with another very possible next season. Meet Kenny.
On the surface life in the media seems a cushy number compared to assisting Mark Fotheringham as manager of Huddersfield but when you have to analyse Celtic wins for BBC Scotland, Sky Sports, Go Radio and Radio Clyde it isn’t always possible to put a brave face on things.
Since the pain of administration and liquidation in 2012 two lies emerged to comfort grieving bears- now both are in danger of being removed.
The laughable claim of being the world’s most successful club by claiming the history of a dead club could be overtaken by Celtic this year.
As soon as Sunday Celtic could be champions of Scotland for the 53rd time, in 2025 they could have their 55th title, none shared and all won by the club that first played in 1888 with an unbroken history of paying Inland Revenue and HMRC all due taxes.
Those facts are eating away at Miller with the Daily Record picking up on an interview he gave with The Sun:
Some people are obsessed with the term ‘the gap’. When I was involved in it, it was something I absolutely hated. Listen, Celtic could win 56 before Rangers win 56.
That’s clearly possible when there are only two teams that could win the league. But when I was involved in it, I absolutely hated the term ‘the gap’.
It’s all some people go on about but what do they actually mean? If they’re talking about a points gap then that’s easy because that’s black and white, you just need to look at the league table. But if they’re meaning a gap between the two teams then you need to look at the performances when they play each other.
And nobody can tell me Celtic have been way better than Rangers in the four Old Firm games that Michael has been the manager. Look, Rangers need to find a way to win because Celtic have been relentless in their pursuit of trophies. I accept that. But if you look at the semi-final on Sunday, I think Rangers were the better team.
It must be the first game domestically that Ange’s team were out-possessed and out-passed. And it was a horrific goal Rangers lost. The game at Celtic Park? There wasn’t a lot in that one. The Viaplay Cup final wasn’t a great final, either, and it was won by the odd goal.
So this gap? I really don’t see it. If it’s a points gap then OK, it’s 13 points. But it was nine points when Michael Beale arrived and the form and results of the team since then has been good. So I’ll tell you right now that it’ll be a lot closer next season. I have no doubt about that.
Who wins the league is probably going to be decided by who turns up in the Old Firm games. But you can’t tell me there is a huge gap. Celtic are definitely ahead of Rangers right now, with Ange further ahead in his journey than Michael.
But I believe Rangers will make strides this summer. And if Nico Raskin and Todd Cantwell are a sign of things to come, then Rangers will be stronger. It’s a really interesting summer coming up.
Beale hasn’t started his ‘journey’, wasting six months building up win stats for his CV ahead of a summer rebuild on a tight budget trawling through the English Championship for free agents.
The next month looks like a very painful time for Miller and his media buddy Kris Boyd.
Poor Kenny heavy on the deludemol along with McCoist and Boyd .
You don’t have to agree there is a gap .
It’s shown up by results and points .
You think that Beale will do a super job recruiting in the summer .
Maybe he will ,but do you think that Ange Postecoglou is going to stand still when it comes to recruitment ?
No Kenny Ranjurs might close the gap if Celtic stand still .
But if you utilise your football knowledge and remove your blue tinted glasses.
You have to admit the rebuild that Ange has done in a such a short time is remarkable and I don’t think for a minute Beale could match that never mind better it .
So, according to Sun bed Kenny we’ll see the real, real, really real theRangers next season?!
That is CLASSIC bug BENNY stuff from the himself BENNY nae eyes Miller. Just how ridiculous does he sound putting that out there.
The gap in points maybe 13 but on everything else the 2 teams are the same,just what is this guy smoking.
It was the same MANTRA on heart and hand podcast the other day when David Edgar and his guests spoke the exact same words as nae eyes.
In the last 3 years CELTIC won nothing then a double and are on their way to winning a treble,….. that’s progress…. compare the last 3 years of “the rangers”….yes Kenny compare points,or stats , but what about trophies WON Kenny
Still in denial, counting the old rangers trophies as part of sevcos 3…erase what happened, let’s pretend it didn’t happen. The media outlets that let these so called pundits out this tripe out there and don’t call it out are a disgrace.
Aye, right enough flling sevco with a bunch of Norwich city rejects is going to guarantee them success next season.
These peepul are truly MORONS.
How can a former league winner with celtic be in denial is he frighten of his mates uf so serves him right getting in involved with cardboard gangsters they will bring you down to there level watch out Miller it’s a vicious circle
This guy will be sitting on these video podcasts soon wearing a t-shirt that says ‘ Michael I’ll suck your plums for a job ‘

Kenny and co are hyping this boy up beyond belief because he had a half decent game against a p*ss poor Hibs
Miller is a failure as a manager.Along with other so called pundits he has the ideas of a field Marshall but the brains of a field mouse.And are puppets for BBC and SKY .And until they pay to go to games.There so called opinion does not matter.
Why are we even discussing that waste of space? As good as a pundit as he was a player headless chicken wae nae brain. How do players who have played at a decent level not realise the tactics involved in a game like Sunday mean stats go out the window. We let them have possession in certain areas as we knew they would eventually hang themselves , this will be why he was a disaster as a manager ,, thick as fvck.
He’s just bitter wee man, like mister grumpy Boyd, miller just can’t get over being dump by Celtic, and Boyd not being a clown that Celtic wanted.
