Former SPFL Chief Claims Rangers’ £4.2m Star Is Europe-Bound

Shankland Arrival Could Signal End of Miovski’s Rangers Stay

Rangers appear set to reshape their attacking department this summer, with Bojan Miovski emerging as the most likely casualty following the arrival of Lawrence Shankland from Hearts.

The North Macedonia international joined the Ibrox club last summer in a deal worth £4.2 million, arriving with a strong reputation after his goalscoring exploits at Aberdeen. However, his first season in Glasgow failed to live up to expectations, with the 26-year-old managing just seven league goals and struggling to establish himself as a regular starter.

With Shankland now officially through the door, manager Danny Rohl has strengthened his options in the final third, leaving Rangers with four senior strikers competing for places. As the club continues its summer rebuild, departures are expected, and Miovski is increasingly being viewed as the most expendable member of the group.

Former Aberdeen chief executive Keith Wyness believes the new signing could form a productive partnership with Youssef Chermiti, who enjoyed an impressive campaign despite attracting criticism during the early stages of the season. The Portuguese forward ended the Scottish Premiership season with 15 goals and is widely expected to remain a key figure under Rohl.

Speaking on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, Wyness suggested Miovski’s future at Ibrox is far from secure.

“I think Chermiti will benefit from having Shankland, playing off Shankland would be really good for him,” Wyness stated. “I think the one who’s really at risk is Miovski. He could certainly be out the door, and I think he’d be one of those who would be on the list to sell. He hasn’t performed to expectations. He did quite well at Aberdeen, but he hasn’t done it for Rangers that much.”

The statistics underline the contrasting fortunes of the two forwards. While Chermiti scored 15 league goals and posted a strong expected-goals return, Miovski managed only seven strikes despite making the same number of appearances.

Reports also suggest the striker has become increasingly frustrated with his role at the club after being informed he could fall to fourth choice next season. With regular football a priority, an exit now appears the most likely outcome for both player and club as Rangers prepare for another significant summer of change.
