Instead, they found 18-year-old Kenny Miller from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From his profile picture, it’s pretty easy to tell he is not the Kenny Miller, but that didn’t stop the tweets pouring in.
With his phone presuming buzzing every 30 seconds with notifications from Twitter, Miller issued a plea for fans to stop.
He tweeted: “I don’t want to sound like a d**k, but I AM NOT A SOCCER PLAYER! People keep tweeting at me telling me I had a great game. Please stop.”
It did not have the desired effect as Rangers supporters continued to thank him for his double against Motherwell.
Although, instead of getting frustrated further, tweets late on Sunday indicated the American Miller had relented and started to embrace the attention.
