 Miller played as a wing-half in an initial 0–0 draw, however an injury to Jackie Williamson required him to move to centre-half for the replay.The subsequent 2–0 victory enshrined that XI's place in Dunfermline folklore and served to galvanise the entire club.Dunfermline developed into regular challengers at the top end of the league table and Miller notched seven goals as they finished an unprecedented 4th in 1961–62.
