Jim Goodwin believes there is plenty more to come from striker Bojan Miovski after scoring twice in Aberdeen’s 5-0 Premiership win over Livingston.
Miovski opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Jack Fitzwater was sent off for a foul on Vicente Besuijen, before Ross McCrorie and a kick from Besuijen made it 3-0.
Miovski scored again, this time from open play, and teenage substitute Ryan Duncan completed the scoring with his first Dons goal.
Miovski’s brace took his own tally to six goals in six games for the Dons and Goodwin said: “This kid could be anything he wants. He has just turned 23 and we have made a significant investment to bring him to the club.
“We all thought we could continue his development here in Aberdeen and give him a platform to excel, and he did.
“He’s not even at full speed yet in terms of fitness and sharpness because he came into pre-season late, but he seems to be scoring every week and if we keep creating the kind of opportunities that we have been, he will be our main man this season, there is no doubt about that.
Livingston boss David Martindale insists his side will bounce back against Dundee United in the Premier Sports Cup on Wednesday night.
He said: “Even with 10 men we shouldn’t capitulate like this and it’s unacceptable to be sitting here talking about a 5-0 game.
“He will be put to bed tomorrow morning. I talk a lot about it, winning, losing or drawing you have to put the game behind you. We can do nothing to change what has just happened.
“You can only change the future. That’s how I’ve lived my life for the past 25 years, I’m not looking back, I’m looking forward. I’m going to make that clear to the players, and that’s how we work at the football club.
“I felt sorry for 95 per cent of the starting 11 today. I don’t think they deserved to be in that position – we made our own mistakes and that led to our downfall.
