Lennon Miller admits Motherwell could have attacked Rangers more in their Premier Sports Cup semi-final, and wants more Hampden memories.And the 18-year-old insists a foul in the build-up to Rangers’ clincher in the 2-1 win should have seen the goal disallowed.Miller led the team out at Hampden in the absence of injured captain Paul McGinn and vice-captain Stephen O’Donnell and while it was a proud moment, he wanted a final place against Celtic in December.Andy Halliday gave Motherwell a half-time lead, but goals from Cyriel Dessers and Nedim Bajrami saw the Ibrox side progress in the competition.Miller said: “I felt we could have created more chances, if we had been more confident on the ball.“We were disciplined off the ball, and limited them to two or three big chances, but we would like to have created more.“What’s the down to?
