Rangers

Chris Sutton

Chris Sutton could not believe what he saw  after Bojan Miovski’s “phenomenal” equaliser for Aberdeen as Rangers won 2-1 against them at Ibrox on Tuesday (6 February).

With goals from Todd Cantwell and Rabbi Matondo, Rangers defeated Aberdeen 2-1 in a hard-fought match to draw even with Celtic atop the Scottish Premiership.

After Roos, the goalkeeper for the Dons, misplayed Ross McCausland’s strike, Rabbi Matondo gave the Gers the lead after six minutes, giving them a fantastic start to their chase of their rivals.

But against the flow of play, Miovski scored his 20th goal of the year, winning a long pass and skillfully lifting the ball over Jack Butland under pressure from Conor Goldson.

Sutton was amazed by Miovski’s goal live on Sky Sports on February 6 at 8:54 p.m., saying, “This is a phenomenal goal.”

People can criticize Goldson all they want, but Miovski has already read the pass and is in motion. And he still has a ton of work to accomplish.

“But he has excellent clarity and thought.”

Rangers should have signed Miovski in January

At Ibrox, Rangers dominated the first half and Clement witnessed his team make significant strides toward catching up to Celtic.

With Matondo’s goal, the tension at Ibrox was reduced as the team attempted to win three points against Aberdeen, who were likely experiencing a managerial change with Neil Warnock’s hiring.

With such a strong start, Clement’s team had allayed any fears and ought to have scored more goals prior to Miovski’s deft finish.

Even though Butland has been outstanding throughout the year, he was powerless to stop Miovski’s finish, as he ended like a goal striker who enjoys scoring 20 goals a season.

Ironically, Rangers need a striker of that caliber to unseat Celtic, and if they had offered £2 million or little more, they might have acquired their target.Rather than second-guessing Lawrence Shankland.

In what has been a mediocre season for the entire team at Pittodrie, the 24-year-old has been terrific for Aberdeen, but Miovski has been playing like a striker who belongs on a team that is contending for the championship.

Undoubtedly, the Macedonian striker has already drawn a lot of attention to Rangers thanks to that finish. A fantastic finisher and a brilliant striker.
