BREAKING NEWS:Rangers XI vs Hearts Confirmed: Danny Röhl’s Bold Miovski Decision Could Backfire

Rangers boss Danny Röhl has named his starting XI for a crucial Scottish Premiership clash against Heart of Midlothian—but one big call is already raising eyebrows.
With the title race hanging in the balance, Röhl has opted to leave Bojan Miovski out of the starting lineup, a decision that could define the outcome at Tynecastle.
Rangers Starting XI vs Hearts
Goalkeeper: Jack Butland
Defence: James Tavernier, Nasser Djiga, Emmanuel Fernandez, Dujon Sterling
Midfield: Nicolas Raskin, Tochi Chukwuani, Mohamed Diomande
Attack: Mikey Moore, Andreas Skov Olsen, Youssef Chermiti �

Miovski, despite his proven goal-scoring pedigree, has been named only on the bench—replaced in attack by Skov Olsen in a tactical reshuffle. �

Why the Miovski Call Is Risky
Röhl’s decision comes after a disappointing defeat to Motherwell, where Miovski struggled and was substituted early. However, dropping him entirely could be a gamble.
The North Macedonian forward has shown he can deliver in big moments, and with Rangers needing goals to stay alive in the title race, benching a natural finisher could limit their cutting edge.
Instead, Röhl is placing his trust in the pace and creativity of Moore and Skov Olsen, with Chermiti leading the line. It’s an attacking setup—but one that lacks Miovski’s proven instinct in front of goal.
High Stakes at Tynecastle
The pressure couldn’t be higher. Rangers know that anything less than victory could effectively end their title hopes, especially with rivals closing in at the top. �

That context makes every selection decision critical—and if goals prove hard to come by, questions will quickly be asked about why Miovski wasn’t trusted from the start.
Final Verdict
Röhl has made a bold call in a must-win match. If it works, he’ll be praised for his tactical bravery.
