Rangers Goalless Draw With Celtic Amid Disputed Penalty Appeals

Bojan Miovski made his Rangers debut in the first Old Firm derby of the 2025/26 season, which ended in a goalless draw against Celtic. The North Macedonian striker, who recently returned to Scotland after a stint in Spain, was involved in a key moment when he went down in the box following a challenge from Celtic defender Liam Scales, leading to a penalty appeal that was denied by referee Don Robertson and confirmed by VAR. Miovski claimed he felt contact on his leg but accepted the decision after the match. Both Miovski and Scales previously played together at Aberdeen, with Miovski describing Scales as a 'nice guy' despite their on-field clash. Rangers manager Russell Martin has shown confidence in Miovski, expecting him to contribute goals and help the team improve, while the match highlighted ongoing changes at Rangers under new ownership. The teams now face a two-week break for international fixtures before the Scottish transfer window closes.
