What North Macedonia cameo vs Slovenia means for Bojan Miovski at Rangers
North Macedonia and Rangers striker Bojan Miovski was left out of the starting lineup against Slovenia on Tuesday.
The Gers forward has struggled for game time under Derek McInnes, which seems to be hurting his chances with the national team.
Goce Sedloski's team travelled to Stozice Stadium in Ljubljana on 29 September and lost 2-0.
Despite North Macedonia desperately needing a goal after conceding in the 55th minute, Miovski didn't come on until the 80th minute.
The Glaswegian outfit's attacker started against Switzerland for his country, but managed only a cameo this time around.
After failing to get regular minutes at Ibrox, the striker's prospects with his national side also seem to have diminished.
What will Bojan Miovski do next at Rangers?
Miovski was linked with an exit from Rangers in the summer transfer window but stayed.
Youssef Chermiti and Lawrence Shankland's early-season injuries meant McInnes couldn't afford to lose the former Aberdeen forward.
The Gers did sign Kevin Kelsy on deadline day, raising uncertainty over the North Macedonia striker's situation.
With Ryan Naderi and the Venezuelan ace McInnes' preferred options up front, Miovski's prospects in Govan look bleak.
Shankland may return from his injury at the turn of the year and the ex-Girona attacker could take that as a sign to leave the Glaswegian outfit in the winter transfer window.
What will happen with Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti?
It looks like McInnes has found a winning partnership up front in Kelsy and Naderi.
The two strikers seem to complement each other, with the former Portland Timbers ace as the target man and the Germany-born forward bringing the energy up front.
Naderi seems undroppable at the Gers, given the work he puts in to make the Scottish manager's system work.
When Shankland and Chermiti eventually become available again, they may face an uphill battle to get back into the starting lineup and could have to make a decision on their futures.
