AdminThe North Macedonian has fallen further down the Ibrox pecking order under Danny Rohl after Gers signed Hearts skipper
Bojan Miovski is refusing to rule out a Rangers exit this summer as he admits he wants to play more.
His chances of increased game time at Ibrox next season took a major hit after they snapped up long time target Lawrence Shankland from Hearts.
The North Macedonian was signed by Russell Martin last August, but mostly played third fiddle to Youssef Chermiti and Ryan Naderi after the German arrived in January.
Most of his 43 appearances came off the bench, but he still managed to plunder 13 goals in Light Blue.
But Miovski is backing himself to make the necessary impact and cause Danny Rohl a selection headache despite seemingly falling further down the Ibrox pecking order.
“I’m pleased with my goalscoring output considering my playing time, as I believe that I lacked continuity and a run of matches in the starting line-up to find better rhythm and score more goals,” he told FlashScore.
“I spent more time on the bench than on the pitch during the second half of the season, but I think that 13 goals overall is still a decent return.
“Of course, every player would like to play more and be in the starting line-up rather than on the bench, and that was the main idea upon me joining the club.
“Rangers are a big, big club and it’s only natural to have competition for places in the squad, but I’m a competitor and fighter, and will always do my best both in training and matches to prove my worth, show the coach that I deserve to play more, and then it’s up to the coach to decide who will play.
“I’ve been underestimated throughout my career, with people saying during my early days that I’m not good enough or that I don’t contribute enough, and for a young player, that’s harsh to hear.
“I know that there were more talented players than me that didn’t make it, as not everyone has the mental strength to go through that.
“I’ve been lucky enough to be raised well by my parents and to have the mentality to succeed and I always said, the critics should be your food to prove them wrong, not to be the cause of your downfall.
“I’m ambitious and hungry for success, a person who likes to get out of the comfort zone.
“You can’t rule out anything [regarding my future], but I’ve got a three-year contract with Rangers and would definitely like to feature more prominently next season rather than sit on the bench, as I said, I’m a competitor and would like to play more.”
