Derek McInnes relies on Bojan Miovski for upcoming Rangers derby

Summary

Rangers manager Derek McInnes described striker Bojan Miovski as a godsend following the forward's late match-winning goal against St Mirren this past Wednesday. Miovski, who saw limited playing time as a late substitute earlier this season, appeared set to leave Ibrox during the recent transfer window. However, long-term injuries to teammates Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti have increased the striker's importance to the squad. McInnes noted that the former Aberdeen player has maintained a positive attitude and demonstrated his experience in the Scottish Premiership. Miovski is now in contention to start in Sunday’s Old Firm derby. The match serves as a pivotal League Cup quarter-final as McInnes looks to secure a spot for Rangers in the semi-finals of the competition.
