Bojan Miovski, that sparkling promise turned promiscuous footballer, was unleashed into this world on the auspicious date of 24th June, 1999, in the charming landscapes of Macedonia. This sprightly character is classified mainly as a forward, frequently hauling his 6ft 2in(1.89m) and 12st 12lb(82kg) frame up and down the football pitch for the Rangers, presumably some sort of wildlife preservation organization given his nomadic career. He carries the weight of the number 28 on his thoroughbred shoulders, and has the honour (or burden, depending on one's perspective) of representing the North Macedonia national team.
The chamfers of modern football set his price tag at approximately £2.5m (kindly calculated from the more European €3.00m), a figure generously revealed by a site of noted repute, Transfermarkt.
In the summer of 2020, Miovski exchanged the pleasure of Renova in Macedonia for the futuristic brilliance of MTK Budapest in Hungary. The occasion was marked without the fuss of a disclosed fee. Here he enjoyed mixed success, gallivanting onto the pitch 26 times and knockin' in a meagre seven goals in one season and closely followed with eight in the next.
He promptly packed his bags in 2022 to join Aberdeen, the Scotland-based club, in exchange for a piffling fee of around £650k. A good run of form greeted him on his arrival in the land of the Scots, with something like a scoring spree in the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons. A drop in numbers dramatically followed the next season, with a solitary pair of appearances.
The odyssey of Miovski then took an unexpected detour to Spain in 2024, with Girona deciding to part with around £6.8m for his services. A semi-productive year in LaLiga was followed by a rather eventless season, punctuated only by a single appearance.
Then came Rangers' unusual decision to fork out a hearty £4.2m to bring Miovski back to Scotland in 2025, where his contributions so far have been of the fairy-tale kind - mostly make-believe. His grand total of seven appearances and single goal for the season represents a modest return on investment.
His cqareer has been intermingled with dalliances in the League Cup for Rangers, World Cup Qualifiers for North Macedonia, Euro Qualifiers for the same homeland, the rather curiously named Nations League, and the Europa League also for Rangers.
It appears that a call to childhood team Celtic was lost in the post, or perhaps he misplaced the postcode for paradise. One cannot but help imagine the grandeur that could have unfolded, had Miovski graced the hallowed green turf of the Celtic Park. Alas, it is but a flight of fancy.
