Miller warms up after Celtic chill

CELTIC MIDFIELDER Liam Miller has paid tribute to the Hoops' supporters among the Lansdowne Road crowd for the warm welcome they gave him on his international debut on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old, who has signed a pre-contract agreement with Manchester United, was the subject of Celtic fans' wrath after his move became public knowledge in January.

Miller returned to the team in the UEFA Cup second leg against Barcelona at the Nou Camp last week before making another substitute appearance in the Old Firm win against Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday.
