LATE BLOOMERS

Miller: Hearts will tool up for title surge

- BY SCOTT BURNS

LEE MILLER reckons Hearts could really bloom if they keep themselves in the title race until January.

The ex-Jambos striker isn’t surprised with the impact boss Derek McInnes has had at the Premiership table-toppers.

The Tynecastle side have gone through the first quarter ofthe campaign unbeaten and sit seven points clear of Celtic at the league summit.

And Miller expects investors James Anderson and Tony Bloom will heavily back McInnes in the winter window, if his side reach the turn of the year still looking like potential champions.

Miller, 42, made a huge impact when he joined the Jambos on loan from Bristol City in January 2005, helping them finish second behind Celtic, a point ahead of Rangers.
