Rangers must build on success, says Kenny Miller

Kenny Miller says Rangers have to build on the back-to-back wins over Aberdeen which took them into second place in the Scottish Premiership.
Rangers ground out a 2-1 victory at Aberdeen on Sunday, having beaten them 3-0 at Ibrox last Wednesday, to move above the Dons on goal difference.
It was a big boost to confidence after the side were roundly criticised for defeats against Hamilton and Dundee last month.
But Miller, who was speaking during a visit to Glasgow's Royal Children's Hospital on Tuesday, insisted they have to maintain the momentum against Ross County on Saturday.
He said: "Going into the last week it was a real opportunity for us to put a couple of big results, big performances, down.
"Fortunately we can look back and say it was a good week for us, it could easily have gone the other way.
"We were really determined going into last Wednesday's game that we were going to gain ground on Aberdeen in second spot, and hopefully if we got the right results over the course of the two games we would find ourselves in second spot on Sunday night. We found ourselves there so we are absolutely delighted to get the results.
"We must build on it now, we must go on to Saturday with the same purpose, with the same intensity, and make sure we get the win.
"These big games you win, you can only really take pleasure if you can back them up with good results at home, so against Ross County on Saturday it is important we back it up."
Rangers have not won three consecutive games since December last year when they beat four teams on the spin and Miller is keen to put that right this weekend.
He added: "We have talked about it a lot over the last seven months and it would be something for the team if we can put that little stat to bed".
Miller had no update on the manager's position but said a new man would benefit from coming in at such a busy time of the season.
He said: "I think the new manager would prefer a lot of games coming up than maybe having an international break when you've got to wait for that first game, so it's a good time to come in off the back of a couple of good results, so if that's what happens then great."
