‘I would like to confirm…’ – Exit-linked Rangers player speaks out about behind-the-scenes development
Most transfer sagas end with a confirmed move, a rejected bid, or simply silence as speculation fades away. Bojan Miovski’s has ended, for now at least, with an Instagram statement about his own representation. Days after the summer transfer window closed in Scotland, the North Macedonian striker took to social media to clarify something that had nothing to do with a move to another club and everything to do with who, if anyone, has been speaking on his behalf throughout the speculation.
“I would like to confirm that I am currently not represented by any football agent or agency,” Miovski wrote. “For the time being, I will personally manage all matters relating to my professional career and future. Any enquiries regarding my professional career or future opportunities should be directed exclusively to me personally. Thank you for your understanding.”
It’s a short, formally worded statement, but the timing and substance both carry real significance for a player who spent the closing days of the window strongly linked with an exit from
Miovski’s statement landed just days after the Scottish transfer window shut, following weeks in which his name circulated as a potential departure from Rangers. That speculation was fuelled at least in part by his complete absence from first-team action of late — he was left out of the matchday squad entirely for Saturday’s 1-0 win over Motherwell, and prior to that had managed just ten minutes off the bench against Falkirk. Across the whole of this season, his game time has amounted to only three substitute appearances totalling 40 minutes — hardly the involvement level of a player Derek McInnes currently sees as central to his attacking plans.
By explicitly stating that he currently has no agent and will personally handle all enquiries about his career, Miovski appears to be closing the loop on any conversations that may have been happening in the background involving representatives acting, or claiming to act, on his behalf during the window — while also making clear that any future approaches, whether from interested clubs or otherwise, need to come through him directly rather than through an intermediary
Miovski’s path to Ibrox has been an eventful one even before this latest twist. The 26-year-old built his reputation in Scotland with Aberdeen, where he became one of the most prolific strikers in the club’s recent history, scoring 44 goals across his two seasons at Pittodrie after arriving for a bargain fee in the region of £600,000 from Hungarian side MTK Budapest. That form earned him a club-record departure to Girona in La Liga in the summer of 2024, a move worth around £6.5m that, at the time, stood as the most lucrative sale in Aberdeen’s history.
His time in Spain, however, didn’t work out as either side had hoped, and just a year later Miovski was on the move again — this time to Rangers, in a deal completed at the end of last summer’s window for a fee in the region of £3.1m, a fraction of what Girona had paid Aberdeen for him twelve months earlier. It’s a trajectory that has seen his valuation fall sharply inside two years, from a club-record Aberdeen sale to a considerably more modest fee to bring him to Ibrox, and now to a situation where he finds himself frozen out of the matchday squad entirely under a new manager.
His return so far at Rangers reflects that stalled momentum: a handful of goals in his debut season, and minimal involvement since McInnes took charge and reshaped the squad around a striking department that has grown increasingly crowded, with Lawrence Shankland, Youssef Chermiti and deadline-day arrival Kevin Kelsy all vying for the same central striking role Miovski was signed to fill.
Taken alongside his lack of game time, Miovski’s statement raises fresh questions about where he fits into McInnes’s plans going forward, even with the transfer window now closed until January. Being without formal representation doesn’t prevent a player from completing a transfer — clubs and players can and do negotiate deals without an agent involved — but it does suggest a degree of uncertainty or transition in how his next move, whenever it comes, might be handled. Whether that reflects a parting of ways with a previous agent, a deliberate decision to take more direct control of his own situation, or simply an administrative clarification prompted by outside speculation is not something the statement itself makes clear.
What is clear is that Miovski now finds himself contracted to Rangers for the foreseeable future — reports suggest his deal runs through the 2028 season — but with a striking department so congested that regular football looks difficult to come by in the short term. With the transfer window shut, any resolution to his situation, in either direction, will likely have to wait until the new year
For now, Miovski’s statement stands as a small but pointed footnote to a summer of frantic transfer activity at Ibrox that saw 14 new faces arrive under McInnes. Whether it proves to be the prelude to a January departure, a signal of a player taking charge of his own career narrative amid frustration at his lack of involvement, or simply a straightforward administrative clarification, remains to be seen. What’s certain is that a player once at the centre of a club-record Aberdeen sale now finds himself needing to publicly state, in his own words, exactly who speaks for him — a reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in a squad being rebuilt as aggressively as Rangers’ has been this year.
