Kevin Muscat has perfect blueprint to select go-to striker at Rangers amid appointment latest
Kevin Muscat has an immediate striker dilemma to solve at Rangers.
Muscat is the favourite to become Rangers boss after weeks of searching for a new head coach to take over from Russell Martin.
The Light Blues are willing to hold out until late-November to land the Australian, with Neil McCann set to take over Rangers as interim.
Rangers are set to agree new backroom appointments for Muscat, showing how close the 52-year-old is to making a long-awaited Ibrox switch.
If Muscat is to make the move to Govan, the first question he will have to answer is who becomes the Gers’ starting number nine?
Bojan Miovski could be the man for Kevin Muscat at Rangers
There are three striker options for the G51 club right now after what was a busy summer window in forward areas.
Youssef Chermiti came in from Everton to add competition for Danilo after what was a mixed campaign for the Brazilian last time around.
Bojan Miovski also came in from Girona as an experienced star at the Scottish Premiership level.
The North Macedonia international could prove to the the perfect option to start every week under Muscat after his work at Shanghai Port.
Leonardo has been the go-to man in the CSL and has repaid that faith with 19 league goals and four assists this campaign.
As per Sofascore data, the Brazilian has scored every 129 minutes and has been active in every outing, taking 2.78 shots and 5.66 touches in the opposition penalty area.
This compares well to Miovski in his final season at Aberdeen, although the Chinese Super League man has outperformed the Light Blues’ summer signing.
Under the tutelage of Muscat, there is no reason why the 26-year-old can’t explode and become a massive asset at Ibrox moving forward.
The soon-to-be Rangers boss already has the perfect blueprint, and fans will be hopeful of seeing a Leonardo-esque asset at Ibrox in the coming months.
Danilo and Youssef Chermiti could suffer under Muscat
Miovski scored his first league goal since joining Rangers against Falkirk in what was an improved performance.
The forward registered a 100 per cent success rate in aerial duels while also taking two shots on goal away at the Falkirk Stadium.
Muscat will see positivity in this output ahead of his move to Ibrox, but what would that mean for Danilo and Chermiti?
Neither has had the brightest start to the campaign, with the pair managing just 203 Scottish Premiership minutes between them so far.
No goals, no assists – it just hasn’t been good enough from either player.
It would make total sense for Muscat to focus on Miovski and allow him to thrive in a division where he has already been excellent in recent years.
