Defender Olwethu Makhanya enhanced his impressive season debut with South Africa, thwarting Borussia Dortmund's prolific striker Serhou Guirassy during a 2-1 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victory. In his second international appearance, the centre-back defended prolifically, outpacing his teammates in completed passes and winning multiple duels.
Guimassy, leading the attack for Dortmund, scored four goals in six games for his club, totaling 64 goals from 102 appearances. South Africa coach Pitso Mosimane commended Makhanya's performance, noting the Guinean's handling of the top-level opponent. New data indicates Makhanya's value now stands at £12m, only a few months after Rangers paid £3m to sign him from Philadelphia Union.
With his form soaring, Rangers supporters hope Makhanya maintains his stellar performance as they pursue Celtic in the league standings.
