BOJAN MIOVSKI believes he could return to Scotland with Aberdeen - one day.
The North Macedonian striker left Pittodrie for La Liga side Girona last summer in a £6.8 million deal after two goal-laden seasons in the SPFL.

Miovski watched his former team-mates lift last season's Scottish Cup and while filled with regret he didn't get his hands on silverware during his time with the Dons, was thrilled for his ex-team-mates.
The 25-year-old plans to stay in Spain for the foreseeable future, but would be open to returning to the Granite City at some point in the future.
Miovski told RG.org: 'My career will probably last for another 10 years, and I cannot predict the future, but I do not rule out the possibility of wearing Aberdeen's shirt again one day.
'I was really appreciated within the club, and I love the club as well.
'I felt really good there, and if I return there one day, winning a trophy would be at the top of my list.
'Every player wants to win trophies, and for me, personally, I regret the fact that I did not manage to lift a trophy during my two years with Aberdeen.
'But I am really glad that they won the Scottish Cup now, and I am especially happy for my former teammates who played with me in the Scottish League Cup final back in 2023-24 that we lost.
'This is what football is all about — winning trophies.
'My desire to wear the shirt and my ambition to always score a goal and secure a win played a key role in me becoming so loved at the club and building up such a strong connection with the supporters.
'Their fans are unbelievable, and I still receive a lot of messages from them to this day, which makes me very happy.'

Miovski scored just seven goals in 34 games for Girona last term, which was a return way below what he'd become used to in the SPFL.
But the striker always knew he'd be a project for the club so is focused on buckling down to build on his first campaign.
He said: 'My primary goal is to score as many goals as possible next season and help my team (Girona) achieve its targets.
'I signed a long-term deal last year, but I cannot predict what will happen over the summer.
'Although the club considers me a project to develop and I have three years left on my contract, everything is open, and whether I will leave or stay depends on the club.
'I have never had a lack of self-confidence, as you cannot reach this level without being confident, and I have had much more difficult moments in my career.
'Even back when I was not playing regularly in the Macedonian top tier and I only watched matches from the stands, I did not lack confidence.
'I believe that with perseverance and hard work, my time will come, and I have been doing this all my life.
'And the critics do not affect me as well, as I consider them part of the job.

'When you play badly, you will get criticized, and when you play well, you will get praised.'
Miovski is convinced he chose the right club last summer, and aims to prove it.
He added: 'As a footballer, I always pick my clubs based on my style of play, and Girona was the best option for me last summer.
"Important to note, it was not the best financial offer that I got, but as a player, my priority is to develop my game and be at a club where I will play regularly.
'Girona played attacking football last season, and as a striker, I thought that I should join a team that created at least six or seven clear chances for the striker to score.
'But unfortunately, that was not the case this season, and it was the complete opposite compared to last.
'We had a lot of issues like injuries, and we played too slowly, we were not dangerous enough, nor did we make a lot of crosses, which made life difficult for us, the forwards.
'That is why I consider this season a failure from a collective point of view. Although we earned safety, we could have done much more with this squad.
'But in football, all of the pieces need to fall into place for the team to play well, and this season was unsuccessful for us.'
