Confident Kev will have his outshooting boots on

Devlin backs Nizzy to beat Miovski tally

- SCOTT BURNS

NICKY DEVLIN knows Kevin Nisbet will be confident he can outgun Bojan Miovski’s best Pittodrie goal haul.

The Scotland striker, who made his debut in the weekend win over Kilmarnock, has arrived on a seasonlong loan from Millwall.

He’s been brought in to help fill the void after top scorer Miovski was sold to Girona for a club record sale.

Fans’ favourite Miovski hit 26 goals for Aberdeen last term but Devlin knows Nisbet will be looking to top that.

He said: “For us as a club it’s not about trying to fill Bojan’s shoes. As good as he was for the club, he’s now moved on.

“We’ve three other options with Peter Ambrose, Kevin and Ester Sokler. It’s about them getting the goals.

“It’s fine if they can score the goals Bojan got. Kevin is a confident lad. He will expect to score more goals than Bojan did last year.

“That is the way he is and drives himself. If he’s able to do it then we will be in a good place.”
