Kenny Miller hasn't been left enamoured by Michael Beale's talk over a Rangers gap between themselves and Celtic. The fallout is spilling into this week's Premiership clash with Kilmarnock as fans in the blue corner take a wider picture view to Sunday's League Cup defeat to Celtic.
He insisted ahead of hosting Killie that his side are fighting 'against the odds' to topple Ange Postecoglou's side who sit nine points clear at the top, not perking Miller's positive interest.
Instead, he feels that Beale's comments on the gap between finances at his disposal to those across the city are like an excuse, telling Superscoreboard: "I lived it for a few seasons when we were miles behind Celtic, I don't like it, Celtic are better at the moment.
They are winning trophies and everything is rosy. In terms of the finances, it is not that big, you are not telling me whoever has spent the most has won the league every year in Scotland.
