Aberdeen manager Jimmy Thelin praised the attitude of star striker Bojan Miovski, after the North Macedonia international helped the Dons start their Premiership campaign with victory against St Johnstone.
Miovski looked sharp in the 2-1 win at McDiarmid Park despite only playing 45 minutes during the entirety of the League Cup group stages as rumours circled surrounding his future.
Thelin restored Miovski to the starting line-up for the first game of the league season, and says he had no doubts about doing so.
“He has been ready all the time,” Thelin said. “But we also try to prepare the whole team and we don’t have any friendly games. We had the cup games, Ester (Sokler) and Pete (Ambrose) were doing well and I know what Bojan can do.
“He has been sharp in training, he’s been mentally here. For the first cup game we took him out because it was a lot (of speculation) but since then he’s been really, really focused and a lot of positive energy in the locker room and on the training pitch.
“He showed he’s here in his head and doing really well for Aberdeen. He’s giving 100 per cent and he’s a really good player. Right now he is an Aberdeen player and we focus on that and we take training day by day.”
