Bojan Miovski injury latest for Rangers vs Hearts after new reveal from Macedonia

Rangers could be boosted by the return of Bojan Miovski sooner rather than later.

Rangers secured a 1-0 win against Hibernian last time out, closing the gap on Celtic to three points, while being nine points behind Hearts.

The Light Blues face the latter at Tynecastle on Sunday, looking to seal three points which would somewhat open up the title race again.

Initial fears suggested that the Gers would be without Miovski for the second game in a row, with a new update emerging from his home country.

Miovski available for Rangers clash at Tynecastle

Rangers were without Miovski for their clash with Hibernian, with Youssef Chermiti handed a chance to lead the line.

It was actually one of Chermiti’s better performances at Ibrox, though that says more about what he has lacked this season as opposed to what he offered in the game.

However, the chances of him leading the line for the second game in succession look slim, with Miovski set to be available for selection this weekend.

That is according to Macedonian journalist Filip Moshov, who reported on X on Tuesday that his absence was precautionary.

Miovski “will be available” for Rangers’ encounter with Hearts, and if so, it leaves Danny Rohl with a simple decision to make.

Rangers need Miovski to revive title hopes

Given the gap at the top of the table, it’s still hard to say that Rangers are in the Scottish Premiership title race, but stranger things have happened.

A win would see them close the gap to six points, with Celtic looking as though they are on the slide.

Miovski has suddenly found his scoring boots as of late, with three goals in his last two games, compared to the one that he managed in 15 games for club and country prior.

The 26-year-old is still underperforming his xG slightly in Scotland, but that looks likely to change as his form in front of goal continues.

If reports prove accurate, Miovski’s return will be a big boost, and certainly one that Rohl has to take advantage of.
