Kilmarnock F.C. Manager Blown Away by Rangers fc Star After Dramatic 3:0 Defeat “I’ve Never Seen Anyone So Strong”

Kilmarnock manager Stuart Kettlewell admitted he was “absolutely blown away” by a Rangers United forward after watching his side fall to a decisive 3 0 defeat on Saturday afternoon. In a remarkably candid post-match interview, the Killie boss described the opposition striker as “like a wall” and insisted he could not understand why the player had not already moved to a higher-profile club.

The match may have belonged to Rangers United on the scoreboard, but the performance of their talismanic attacker quickly became the dominant talking point. His physical presence, clinical touch, and relentless work rate left the Kilmarnock defence scrambling from the first whistle to the last.

Kettlewell reveal the only player who had caused him such problems is  Bojan Miovski. The Rangers United star struck twice, first in the 33rd minute, then again in the 54th, before Marcus Moore added a late third to seal the victory. But it was Miovski’s dominance, rather than the scoreline, that left the manager stunned.

“I’m sorry, and I mean no disrespect to Rangers United, they’re a massive club,” Kettlewell said. “But I genuinely don’t know why this player hasn’t already played at an even higher level. He has everything. I’ve never seen someone so strong. He was like a wall. You couldn’t knock him off the ball, you couldn’t move him, and you couldn’t get around him.”

Miovski’s first goal came from pure centre-forward instinct. Receiving a long diagonal pass with his back to goal, he absorbed the pressure of a tight marker, rolled his man with astonishing power, and fired a low shot into the corner. It was the kind of goal that instantly changes the tone of a match, and in this case, the tone of the afternoon.

“We were settling into the game,” Kettlewell admitted. “But after that moment, you could feel the belief drain a little. When he’s in that mood, when he’s throwing defenders around like that, you’re in trouble.”

The second goal, early in the second half, was equally impressive. As Rangers United launched a sweeping counter-attack, Miovski burst between two defenders with effortless acceleration, brushed aside the challenge of another, and placed a composed finish into the bottom corner. It was the type of striker’s goal that Kettlewell later described as “not normal at this level.”

Moore’s late strike may have completed the scoreline, but it did nothing to shift the spotlight away from Miovski.

Rangers United manager Danny Rohl tried to downplay the growing hype surrounding his star forward, though even he could not ignore the reaction from the opposing dugout.

“Bojan’s been excellent for us,” Danny Rohl said. “We see his qualities every day in training, so for us it’s no surprise. But when another manager speaks so highly of him, it tells you what level he’s performing at right now.”

The win strengthens Rangers United’s push in the league, but it may also bring renewed transfer speculation around Miovski, whose blend of strength, intelligence and finishing continues to attract interest from larger clubs. Sources within the league have long suggested that his value is rising, and endorsements like Kettlewell’s will only increase scrutiny.

For Kilmarnock, the defeat was disappointing but not without moments of grit. The home side carved out a handful of half-chances, and for spells they held firm against sustained pressure. But every time momentum appeared to shift, Miovski reasserted control.

“We tried doubling up on him, we tried stepping up, we tried dropping off,” Kettlewell said. “But when a striker is that powerful and that confident, you’re at his mercy. I’ve managed against top forwards before, but I genuinely think he might be the most underrated I’ve ever faced.”

Despite the result, Kettlewell’s honesty earned quiet admiration from Kilmarnock supporters, who appreciated his refusal to hide behind excuses. Meanwhile, Rangers United fans left the stadium buzzing about a forward who seems to grow more imposing with every match.

Whether Miovski remains at Rangers United long term or eventually moves to one of the higher-profile clubs many believe he belongs with, his display and the extraordinary praise from an opposing manager will remain one of the defining moments of the season.
