Kris Boyd believes Kenny Miller's experience will have a major influence on the outcome of this weekend's top-of-the-table clash between Hibernian and Rangers.
Hibs entertain the Championship leaders live on Sky Sports on Sunday knowing victory will cut the Glasgow club's lead at the summit to five points.
