Olwethu Makhanya does something 'unbelievable' in Rangers moment vs Dundee
The South Africa international started again for the Gers as Derek McInnes' team travelled to Dens Park on 17 October.
Along with Emmanuel Fernandez, the former Philadelphia Union defender has formed a solid partnership at the Light Blues in recent weeks.
While the Ibrox side struggled in the first half, Makhanya ensured Ivor Pandur didn't concede a second before the break.
The Glaswegian outfit couldn't keep hold of the ball up top and were threatened on the break on several occasions.
Badredine Bouanani got the Govan side back into the game with a brilliant strike, but moments earlier, the South African ace caught the eye.
Derek Ferguson blown away by Olwethu Makhanya
Makhanya has been impressive for Rangers since moving from the MLS, exceeding everyone's expectations.
With the score 1-0, Bevan was played in behind and looked through on goal, but the 22-year-old defender stopped him in his tracks.
The centre-back showed amazing pace to close down the Dundee attacker and win the ball back.
Minutes later, Bounani equalised for the Glaswegian outfit and the South African international's contribution was game-changing at Dens Park.
Speaking on BBC Sportsound on 17 October, Derek Ferguson said, "It's unbelievable from Makhanya. As soon as Bevan gets there, he's away. How Makhanya gets back and makes a clean tackle is beyond me."
Derek McInnes clearly didn't think Dens Park tactic through
Ryan Naderi started up front as Rangers' lone striker at Dens Park.
Dundee’s centre-backs Ryan Astley and Owen Bevan didn’t give the Czechia international any time on the ball and dominated him on most occasions in the first half.
McInnes’ decision to drop Kevin Kelsy didn’t make sense, given the physical prowess of Steven Pressley’s team.
Ivor Pandur's long balls to the 23-year-old striker weren't working, as Dundee’s backline swept up any threat.
While Bouanani had his moments and got on the scoresheet, the Algeria international should've come into the starting lineup for a different player rather than Kelsy.
The Glaswegian outfit were second-best at winning balls played into the final third and the Venezuelan striker certainly could've made a difference in those situations.
