It’s time for Bojan Miovski to step up for Rangers | OneFootball

Bojan Miovski’s subdued start to life at Rangers has begun to worry fans who hoped he would transform the team’s attack. The former Aberdeen striker arrived at Ibrox with expectation after his success at Pittodrie, but his early Rangers displays have failed to deliver the same fire. Many now wonder if the shirt is proving too heavy, with his LaLiga struggles at Girona repeating themselves in Glasgow.

Rangers expected goals and leadership from Miovski

Rangers needed a proven forward who could score under pressure, and Miovski looked the perfect fit. He bullied defences in the north east, showing strength, composure, and a striker’s instinct. Supporters believed he would slot straight into the Rangers system, linking with Danilo and Djeidi Gassama to bring goals back to Ibrox. Instead, the early signs have been underwhelming. His movement has been tidy, but his finishing sharpness has faded. Against Hibernian and Kilmarnock, he worked hard yet failed to impose himself, and that has drawn comparisons with Youssef Chermiti’s own frustrating form.

Still, fans hoped for patience. Miovski has the attributes, but he seems hesitant in the Rangers shirt. The expectation here dwarfs what he faced at Aberdeen, and that intensity can swallow players. Many strikers have wilted under Ibrox glare before. From Kevin Kyle to Alfredo Morelos at times, even the strongest find the weight heavy. Miovski must now prove he can handle it.

His spell at Girona should have been a wake-up call. Playing in LaLiga, he found space harder to exploit, defenders faster, and his confidence dipped. That same pattern is emerging in Scotland’s biggest club. Miovski looks like a player searching for belief. He presses well, he moves smartly, yet when the chance comes, he hesitates. For a striker, that split-second doubt is deadly.

Girona’s warning signs follow him to Glasgow

Rangers supporters have already seen moments of what he can do. His cup goal at Easter Road showed power and placement, yet those flashes must now become routine. Rangers cannot afford another striker who flatters to deceive. The team’s season depends on a forward capable of turning half-chances into match-winners.

Time for Miovski to prove his worth

Bojan Miovski’s subdued start at Rangers does not mean failure yet, but the warning lights flash. The shirt has crushed better players, and Ibrox expects immediate impact. If he cannot rediscover the edge he showed at Aberdeen, this move could end like Girona — with frustration and regret. Rangers need their striker to step up now, before patience runs out and the search for a reliable finisher starts again.
