Bojan Miovski won't seal Celtic transfer for silly money as pundits agree Aberdeen star is 'overpriced'

If Celtic are to make a move for Bojan Miovski, it won't be for "silly money" - and £4.5million is too much for the North Macedonian.

That's according to Andy Walker and Barry Ferguson, who reckon the Aberdeen striker could be the answer to Brendan Rodgers' impending striker shortage. The Hoops boss is set to lose Kyogo, Daizen Maeda and Oh on Asian Cup duty and he's admitted he'll need to bring in striking reinforcements. The champions have reportedly been scouting Miovski with a view to a January move.

However, the Dons desperately need to keep their top scorer in order to start moving away from the wrong end of the Premiership table. They sit second bottom with Barry Robson under serious pressure ahead of this weekend's home game against Hearts, which could leave them stranded at the foot of the table should results not go their way. Losing Miovski's goals would likely make a bad situation much worse.

Walker reckons Miovski ticks a few boxes for his former club. But he suspects they won't break the bank to try and land him. "I think he's a good player and better some of the strikers Rangers have got," he told Go Radio. "He's a good finisher and I think he can fit into the style of play at Celtic. I can see Celtic coming in for him but I don't think he'll go for silly money though."

He added: "He misses chances but it never seems to affect him. He might miss one or two but gets in positions to take the next one. I think
