Rangers' head coach Derek McInnes has commended Bafana Bafana defender Olwethu Makhanya for his impressive performance during the Scottish team's UEFA Conference League debut. Makhanya, who recently transferred from Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer, has quickly become an option for McInnes at Ibrox. The 22-year-old defender was praised for his calmness on the ball and man-to-man ability during his European debut.
