As an amateur, Millar played for West of Scotland.[2][page needed] He then played for Glasgow District against Edinburgh District in the 17 December 1892 Inter-City match. This was in the middle of an unbeaten spell in the Inter-City for Glasgow; and Glasgow District won the match by 1 goal & 1 try to 3 tries (in an era when goals were predominate over tries).[3] He also played for Cities District against Anglo-Scots in the 24 December 1892 match.[4] In their match against East of Scotland District on 21 January 1893, Millar played for West of Scotland District.[5] In total, he played matches for Scotland.[6] Additionally, he was a member of the Triple Crown winning team of 1895.
