Philippe Clement hails ‘quality’ £8m man Rangers reportedly want to sign
Rangers were heavily linked with a move to Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski in the January transfer window as Philippe Clement now opens up on his admiration for the £8 million-rated striker.
Bojan Miovski’s 20th goal of the season had a true “look at what you could
have won” feeling to it as the Montenegrin striker held off Connor Goldson and flicked an inventive finish past Jack Butland on the stroke of halftime –
Rangers welcoming Aberdeen to Ibrox in Neil Warnock‘s Scottish Premiership debut.
The Sun claims that although Rangers are huge fans of the Dons star,
no deal could be reached during the January window.
Warnock’s assertion that Aberdeen has the best striker in Scottish football at their disposal was reinforced by
Miovski’s cold-blooded ruthlessness at the other end of the field on a night when Cyriel Dessers wasted opportunities and went back to his Mick Beale-era form.
Clement did not nearly go to that extent. However,
he did voice his disapproval at the callousness of a man who,
in the same amount of games (35), had scored almost twice as many goals as Dessers.
“Today, we had a really strong game. A truly commanding performance,” Clement remarked at halftime. “However,
these are the kinds of games you have when things don’t go your way during a season.
You have multiple opportunities to score during the first half, which you completely control.
And then there is this one instance, which is Miovski’s caliber.
He only needs a little to score goals.
Sky Sports reports that Aberdeen now values Miovski at almost £8 million.
Miovski cost them less than £600,000 when he joined from MTK Budapest in the summer of 2022.
Later on, if he signs with a Rangers or Celtic team,
he will have spent the most money of any footballer to ever switch Premiership teams.
Rangers did manage to survive that scare sparked by Miovski,
though, as Clement’s title-chasing club defeated Warnock in his debut Scottish football match thanks to a goal from the excellent Todd Cantwell in the second half.
The 75-year-old is experiencing his first defeat in his first game as the manager of a new team since 1997.
