Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kenny Miller secure remarkable goal feat just 80 minutes apart

They say age is just a number and that's exactly the approach Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Kenny Miller share as they continue to find the net.

It's not often both strikers are uttered in the same breath - but that was the case this weekend.

The veteran talismen both scored for their respective sides and reached an incredible milestone in doing so.

Zlatan, who returned to AC Milan this month, scored on his debut in the 64th minute as the Swede helped his side to a 2-0 victory against Cagliari.

And roughly an hour and a half later Miller netted for Partick Thistle in a 4-1 defeat to Dundee United. It might have only been a late consolation for the Jags, but it was of huge significance to the former Celtic and Rangers forward.

Miller's and Ibrahimovic 's strikes meant both players had scored in four separate decades.

Zlatan, 38, netted his first senior goal for the Swedish side Malmö on October 30 1999, in a match against Västra Frölunda, before scoring for the likes of Juventus, Barcelona, Inter and PSG.

Miller, 40, scored his first goal for Hibs in a 4-0 win over Stranraer on May 1 1999 as he went on to consistently find the back of the net throughout his career - having previously scored in a loan spell for Stenhousemuir in November 1998.

And their latest goals means that they have now both scored in the 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s.

Ibra has notched a remarkable 372 club goals compared to Miller's 198 and it doesn't appear either are planning on slowing down any time soon.
