Club Career

Celtic

Having attended training sessions at Rangers, Miller signed for Celtic in 2010, aged 12.

In addition to domestic tournaments (he was in the squad which won the Scottish Youth Cup in 2015, and started and scored in the competition's 2017 final), Miller featured in several international youth tournaments during his Celtic youth career such as the NextGen Series and the UEFA Youth League. In May 2016 he was named in a matchday squad for the first time and also signed a new contract running until 2019. Earlier that year he had been marked by the Scottish press as one of the 'three to watch' from the youth team.

Miller made his league and competitive debut against Partick Thistle on 20 December 2016. He received praise for his performance in the match, which Celtic won. It was at this point that his manager Brendan Rodgers revealed that Miller, who had previously been considered a winger or forward in his youth career with the club, was retraining in a more defensive position. Rodgers also expressed his hope that Miller could flourish in his new role in a similar manner to his previous trainee Ryan Bertrand.

He did not feature for the senior team again until 8 August 2017, when he played the full 90 minutes in a 5–0 win over Kilmarnock in the Scottish League Cup, with regular left-back Kieran Tierney filling in as a central defender.

Miller started at left-back on 19 August 2017 in the Scottish Premiership, again against Kilmarnock, and was given man of the match by Sky Sports. His side won 2–0 with goals from James Forrest and Callum McGregor. He was selected in further home fixtures against St Johnstone in February 2018 and Kilmarnock again in May, being replaced in the second half by Tierney in both matches, which ended in 0–0 draws after Cel
