    Wiki doesn't say it resp. ain't really up to date.


    Celtic have played 21 league games, 6 cl games, 1-2 FA/League cup games.

    let's say 28-30 games. I spose Miller has started in at least 23 of these games plus a few subs.

    He has scored a total of 5 goals.

    So Magic has the edge on scoring at the moment. I would guess that Kenny has a lot more assists though. Truth is they are both having a nightmare and Riordan and Beattie have a golden chance if WGS will give it to them. That would actually be exciting.

    are you having a laugh? Miller has never been a goalmachine and never will. Magic has scored lots of goals last season and this season. Still he doesn't get the support he deserves.

    How I said, it's a nationality thingy. I say let's send Miller back to the huns and get Boyd.

    magic has not scored lots of goals this season-according to stats just quoted he is pretty poor himself. forget last season. if magic was on that kind of form there would be no contest but sadly he aint. a few more no-score games and magic's ratio will be as bad as kenny's. thet are BOTH poor at scoring this season.

    Magic proved many times he's capable of scoring many goals. Miller has never been a finisher. But it has to be said that there are more problems than only the poor finishing of our strikers.

    fair comment: I think if they played 50% of the games each it would be a close thing. Kenny would get 80 chances :50: and put away 15 :38: while Magic would get 30 chances a:38: and put away about 15 :50: too. Magic is a far more clinical finisher but is no where near as good as kenny at getting into scoring positiona. If you combined those talents you would have one 40 goals a season striker who would be playing for Barcelona. Ok, will we phone Dr Frankenstien! :56:

    i think ur comment here is laughable keltoi:84:
    its only in recent weeks kenny EVEN been getting much chances...BARCA:56: ...his first touch is crap...his positional play and intelligence crap...heading crap...back 2 goal play crap....awarness crap...left foot crap and this is all witout getting on about his finishing..

    i mean the guy cant even kick a clean ball:87:
    as for stats ...u seem to forget including pre-season
    his stats are more like
    played 50
    goals 5(2 pens) thats a gl every 10 games in the hoops:31:

    i dont dislike miller but even for the short time riordan waz on the field HE ACTUALLY NEARLY HAD A HAT-TRICK only for bad luck...looks a far better player 2 miller imo

    EVERY time i have seen beattie he has created chances out of nothing and is a brill clean striker of a ball ala rooney, combined with his aggression and pace he would be perfect for breaking down european defences and could easily hit 30 in season imo..hail hail

    At the expense of even questioning myself, and wondering about my own legend image in my own mind that is, LoL, I will say that Miller is a better footballer than Zurawski, granted both are not prolific goalscorers!
    However after saying that, and seeing Riordan for a short period, I would like to see Riordan get a start!

    To me, Magic is the most natural striker we have, our use of his is wrong. JVOH is a target man, like Hartson, i.e. gets the goals, get his partner them, but not a Newcatle/Cole or Celtic/Larsson record breaker. They are rare finds. We dont have them but we think we do
