Bojan Miovski has made it clear that he wants a bigger role at Rangers next season,
The North Macedonia international enjoyed a respectable first season with Rangers, scoring 13 goals despite spending significant periods on the bench. However, the arrival of Lawrence Shankland has intensified competition in the attacking department and raised fresh questions about where Miovski fits into Danny Rohl’s plans for the 2026/27 campaign.
Having finished as Rangers’ third-highest goalscorer last season behind Youssef Chermiti and James Tavernier, Miovski can point to a solid return in front of goal. Yet his opportunities were often limited, particularly during the second half of the campaign when he found himself watching from the sidelines more frequently than he would have liked.
Competition Growing at Ibrox
The summer addition of Shankland has significantly altered the landscape among Rangers’ attacking options.
The Scotland international is expected to compete directly with Chermiti and Ryan Naderi for starting places, creating a crowded battle for minutes. As things stand, Miovski could find himself further down the pecking order than he would have anticipated when he first arrived at Ibrox.
While Danilo appears likely to leave the club this summer, the increased competition remains a concern for a player entering what many would consider the prime years of his career.
Miovski Opens Up on Frustrations
Speaking to Flashscore, Miovski reflected on his first season at Rangers and admitted that a lack of continuity prevented him from reaching an even higher level.
“I’m pleased with my goalscoring output considering my playing time,” he said.
“I believe that I lacked continuity and a run of matches in the starting lineup to find better rhythm and score more goals.
“I spent more time on the bench than on the pitch during the second half of the season, but I think that 13 goals overall is still a decent return.”
His comments underline a growing desire to become a regular starter rather than a squad option.
Like any ambitious striker, Miovski wants to be playing consistently, and he made no attempt to hide that fact.
“Every player would like to play more and be in the starting lineup rather than on the bench,” he added.
“I’m a competitor and fighter and will always do my best both in training and matches to prove my worth.”
Future Remains Uncertain
Although Miovski stopped short of openly discussing a transfer away from Rangers, he notably refused to rule out any future possibilities.
The striker remains under contract for another three years, but his remarks suggest regular football will be a major factor in determining how his future unfolds.
“You can’t rule out anything,” Miovski admitted.
“But I’ve got a three-year contract with Rangers and would definitely like to feature more prominently next season rather than sit on the bench.”
Those comments are unlikely to go unnoticed by Rangers supporters, particularly given the fierce competition for places that is expected next season.
A Big Decision Ahead for Danny Rohl
Miovski’s situation could become one of the more intriguing storylines at Rangers over the coming months.
His return of 13 goals demonstrates that he remains a valuable attacking asset capable of making an impact when given opportunities. However, with Shankland’s arrival adding another proven goalscorer to the squad, Danny Rohl faces an important balancing act.
The Rangers manager must decide whether Miovski will be given a more significant role or whether the striker’s future may ultimately lie elsewhere.
For now, the Macedonian appears determined to fight for his place. But his candid comments make one thing clear: a player of his ambition is unlikely to remain content with a peripheral role indefinitely.
If opportunities continue to be limited, speculation surrounding his long-term future at Ibrox is only likely to intensify as the season progresses.
