Bojan Miovski’s prospects at Rangers could improve significantly if he secures regular playing time, according to Barry Robson, the current Cork City manager and former Aberdeen coach who helped develop the North Macedonian striker into one of Scotland’s most promising talents.

Miovski, who was signed by Russell Martin, recently scored a stoppage-time winner against St Mirren after coming off the bench. His position had appeared uncertain under the previous manager Derek McInnes, particularly during the most recent transfer window, but injuries to fellow forwards Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland have opened up new opportunities for the striker to establish himself in the Rangers lineup.

Robson’s confidence in Miovski stems from his previous experience working with the player at Aberdeen. After Miovski’s move to Girona in 2024, where he spent a season, he returned to Scotland to join Rangers. Robson emphasized that inconsistent game time at both clubs has hindered Miovski’s ability to display his full potential. “He needs to be playing regularly. He is a top player and if he gets games and the right service, he will score,” Robson said.

Robson noted that high competition for attacking positions at Rangers makes it challenging for Miovski to secure a starting role. However, he stressed the player’s proven ability and adaptability when given the right conditions on the pitch. Jim Goodwin, the Aberdeen manager who initially signed Miovski from Hungarian club MTK, cited Robson’s coaching as pivotal in transforming Miovski’s playing style and effectiveness.

Under Robson’s guidance, Miovski learned to be more aggressive and tactical in attacking runs, improving his ability to challenge defenders and position himself decisively in the box. Robson credited the stringent and physically demanding training sessions as key factors in refining Miovski's game, giving him the physical and mental tools needed to excel at higher levels.

During Robson’s tenure, Aberdeen achieved a third-place league finish and qualified for European group stages, with Miovski playing a central role. The club resisted several offers for the striker until Girona ultimately paid a club-record fee exceeding £5 million for his transfer in 2025.

Robson acknowledged the collective effort behind Miovski’s rise, highlighting contributions from the Aberdeen coaching staff alongside the player’s own receptiveness and work ethic. “We got him fitter in the groove and excited to play football,” Robson said. He remains optimistic that with consistent playing time at Rangers, Miovski can revive his form and fulfill the potential demonstrated earlier in his career.
