Rangers Defender Reveals Richard Gough’s Advice: Can He Deliver?

Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya has revealed that club legend Richard Gough contacted him with advice after his impressive start at Ibrox. The 22-year-old South African arrived from Philadelphia Union for around £3 million in the summer and has quickly established himself as a key figure in Derek McInnes’ defence.

Rangers: Olwethu Makhanya earns Richard Gough’s praise Makhanya particularly impressed during Rangers’ consecutive victories over Celtic before the international break. His performances earned him the Scottish Premiership Player of the Month award for September, capping a period in which Rangers recorded six successive wins.

Gough, the former Rangers captain who helped the club win nine consecutive league titles, recently praised the young defender on social media. Their conversation followed through Instagram, where the former centre-back offered advice drawn from his successful career.
