Pat Bonner is ‘impressed’ with ‘much improved’ Aberdeen star he thinks Celtic should now sign

As Celtic book another Scottish Cup Final date on the 25th of May next month, the fallout of that incredible semi-final against Aberdeen continues today.

Celtic looked shaky on Saturday against The Dons but still managed to get the job done on penalties after 120 minutes of Football couldn’t separate the teams after a nerve-shredding 3-3 draw.

Goals from Nicolas Kuhn, James Forrest and Matt O’Riley weren’t enough to seal a win as Aberdeen battled right to the end in regulation and extra time.

It took a Joe Hart save from Killian Phillips in sudden death to cap an exciting Game with a wonderful finalé and Celtic can now look forward to another Glasgow Derby after Rangers booked their place in a 2-0 win over Hearts yesterday,

But there was one ‘much improved’ Aberdeen star that when asked if Celtic should sign him, Pat Bonner believed that is something Brendan Rodgers should look at.

Bonner say Bojan Miovski has what Celtic ‘want’

The former Celtic hero was praising Bojan Miovski after his opener gave Aberdeen hope of pulling off a cup shock and the former Celtic hero is clearly a big fan of the international striker.

Bonner said [BBC Radio Scotland], “I’ve been impressed with him. I think he’s a much, much-improved player from when I saw him right at the start of his career with Aberdeen.

“I think he’s just matured. I think he knows how to play the position and I think he leads the line really well.

“And he’s got that turn of pace which is really important. He threatens defenders in behind them and he scores goals, and that’s what you want.”

It’s incredible to think that Miovski has managed to score 24 goals and create four in an Aberdeen side who have been hovering in and around the relegation zone for much of the season. [Transfermarkt]

And if you look at the number of chances Celtic create, Miovski is a player who could flourish in Paradise.

The big sticking points would be Miovski’s long-term ambition and Aberdeen’s asking price. And also whether or not Rodgers sees him as a striker who would fit into his system.

With Adam Idah’s Celtic future still uncertain, the Celtic manager will need to add another striker to his ranks in the summer and Miovski has shown he has a serious eye for goal.
