Okay, let's get it out of the way: block out the time from summer 2006 to the end of August 2007.
But you're the Rangers and Scotland striker.
You have 12 goals for Scotland, and are approaching the milestone of 50 caps for your country.
Not to put too fine a point on it, you are in a little bit of form; indeed, you are statistically the most effective striker in European club football at present, with ten goals in seven games. And you scored in your last international outing, with a stunning strike. So all in the Miller garden looks rosy.
That seems to be backed by the national team manager, who comments on his latest squad thus:
"If you look at the strikers I have picked, I have picked players on form, that is basically it.”
Well said, Craig: although why this didn't apply to the other areas of the squad - see the return of Caldwell after months on the sidelines and no games - is probably a matter for another day.
The Great Levein makes clear that it will likely be one main striker up front, so Kenny sees no reason he won't be involved, after all he has often performed this role for club and country.
But when the team is announced there is no room for, we presume, a fit and ready Miller. Why? Let FF Help.
The Striking Q&A
Well, at least we're going with 'Faddy', our mercurial talisman and Tartan Army favourite, eh?
No. He's not in the squad, remember.
Surely then it must be a case of Wolves EPL striker Steven Fletcher replacing Kenny?
No, it's not the large-lugged ex-Hibs player.
We're not playing Norway are we?
No, it's not the ambassador, Chris Iwelumo.
Has Boydy started scoring goals for fun in England?
No, there is no room in the squad for the man who sold away his career and chance at immortality.
Big Craig hasn't been watching Rangers games with one eye shut, has he?
Well, Steven Naismith is playing, but he's not the main striker, and is likely to reprise his present club role, where he has worked so well with Miller.
You're going to have to give me a clue, here, please?
Mackie.
That big lump at Aberdeen, the oil man's Kevin Davies, only slower and less useful?
No, sorry. It is, however, a Rangers man.
Look, I know Super Ally scores them all during the warm-up but I don't think you are taking this very seriously.
Queens Park Rangers. Jamie Mackie. An Englishman. First cap for Scotland.
Instead of the man who has scored more than anyone in the squad and is in the best form of his life?
Yup. Oh, and he might not even play right up front, as some reckon Scotland's formation may be entirely devoid of a central striker. Enjoy!
Miller must wonder what on Earth is going on.
Scottish fans must pray, or whatever the atheist equivalent may be, that this selection isn't the prelude to a Prague pummelling.
