Wolves and Scotland Striker Kenny Miller has issued a warning to the other Premiership Clubs warning them that Wolves will do everything possible to stay in the Premiership.

Within hours of Wolves reaching the top flight of English Football for the first time in 19 years, the bookies made Wolves one of the favourites to go back down to the First Division.

But Kenny Miller who scored at the Millennium Stadium warns Wolves will not be looking at relegation next year.

"It's a challenge I'm looking forward to," said Miller. "I cannot wait. I'd been looking forward to my holiday all season, but now I can't wait for the season to start again because we've got this challenge.

"The manager always says you've got to embrace this kind of thing and that's exactly what I want to do. It's where everyone wants to play their football. We know it's going to be hard but personally I believe we should be in playing in the Premier League and now we've got that chance.

"It's our chance to prove that we belong to be there and not just for one year."

Personally, this season was definitely a big challenge for me to get my career back on track after what happened last season," he said.

"And that's what I've done. It's been good for me this year. I've played nearly every game for Wolves and I've managed to score 25 goals including one of those for my country. I am back in the international set-up and with the Premier League coming up I can't ask for any more.

"As for Monday, it's not really sunk in yet. At the time it seemed like another game and another result but obviously the significance of it is massive because now we're looking at Premiership football.

"It was an unbelievable day. What a place to play at and to get a goal. Those are the type of games you dream about scoring in because we all know that it was really a cup final and not a league game."

Miller is currently working with Berti Vogts for the all important European Qualifier with Germany.

"I've been lucky enough to finish top scorer with Wolves, which is great. But to be hones when it comes to my country I'm still trying to establish myself. I've only got four caps and I want to get many more.

"I hope I can get a game against Germany and if we can get a result against them that would the icing on the cake after what happened las week."
