'Brilliant' - Pundit reacts as Rangers want to sign ace who 'comes alive in the box' from rivals

Derek Ferguson has suggested Rangers could provide Bojan Miovski a platform to secure a move to England after the club were reported to be in the race to sign him.

However, the pundit believes that with Celtic also believed to be in the race for the Aberdeen star it could come down to money as to who secures the “no-brainer” signing.

Fotmob (24 May) named both sides of the Old Firm alongside Bologna, Southampton and Feyenoord as interested in the North Macedonian who scored 26 goals in all competitions last term.

Ferguson is a big fan of Miovski’s ability and would be in full support of a Rangers deal if the club could secure one.

He exclusively told Ibrox News: “It might come down to money, who knows, but I tell you what it’s a no-brainer. The boy’s a good player, he’s a finisher, that’s for sure. 

“If you want to compare players, compare him to [Cyriel] Dessers, I think it’s like night and day. You see him, he comes alive in the box, his one and two touch finishes are brilliant.

“And we don’t know him but you just look at him and you think, ‘That’s a boy with a good attitude, that’s a guy that’s young and hungry.’

“Maybe he’s trying to use Scotland as a platform to go down to England. So whether that platform would be going to Rangers and showing his worth by banging in a few goals…“.

Celtic could rival Rangers for Aberdeen star’s signature

Dessers delivered a decent goal return with 22 last term after being left as the last man standing at striker but Philippe Clement surely needs more options at the position.

Danilo is returning from injury but Kemar Roofe has gone and Sam Lammers will be sold, so if Miovski is available it would make plenty of sense for the Light Blues to be in the race.

It wouldn’t be easy to do a deal with Aberdeen at the best of times, and Celtic’s budget is surely more substantial.

So in terms of proven Scottish Premiership strikers a move to land Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland, who netted 21 of his 31 strikes last term in the league, seems more feasible albeit not guaranteed, but recent developments suggest a Tynecastle exit may be on the cards.

In other Rangers news, a Light Blues signing is still on the cards after a six-figure payment update.
