Rangers FC have witnessed a change at the top of their latest player MVP power rankings, with Ryan Naderi emerging as the club's leading performer and replacing Olwethu Makhanya, who previously occupied the number one position.
The updated rankings, published by Ibrox News ahead of the November international break, reflect the impressive improvements several Rangers players have made since the previous assessment in September.
Naderi's rise to the summit follows an outstanding run of performances since the Scottish Premiership resumed in October. The 23-year-old forward has scored four goals and registered two assists in five league appearances, establishing himself as one of the most influential players in Derek McInnes' squad.
His contribution also includes scoring the decisive goal in Rangers' League Cup semi-final victory at Hampden. His recent performances have strengthened his reputation as a key figure in the club's attacking department.
Makhanya, meanwhile, has dropped to second place despite maintaining an impressive standard since arriving from Philadelphia Union during the summer transfer window. The 22-year-old South African defender was previously ranked as Rangers' best player following his consistent displays at the back.
Kevin Kelsy occupies third position after scoring four goals in his first eight league appearances, with all four strikes coming in his last five outings. The Venezuelan striker has also developed a promising partnership with Naderi.
Belgian midfielder Nicolas Raskin enters the rankings in fourth place following encouraging performances, including his recent contributions against St Mirren and St Johnstone.
Nigerian defender Emmanuel Fernandez completes the top five. Despite facing criticism earlier in the campaign, the 24-year-old has shown improvement in recent matches.
The latest rankings highlight the growing competition within the Rangers squad as McInnes continues to build a stronger team capable of challenging Celtic for the Scottish Premiership title.
