Outside of Olwethu Makhanya’s current form dip, which is a touch of concern, there’s one other player who currently is not bringing it to the Rangers table. Minsu Kim burst onto the scene with an enterprising and energetic form display at Pittodrie. Alas for the Korean, it hasn’t clicked for him yet since then, and his desperation to score or indeed assist has overtaken his form and consumed his play entirely.

Minsu Kim raises concerns

The former FC Andorra winger has a lot of talent, pace and energy to burn but has become a little bit akin to Djeidi Gassama, where he either doesn’t shoot when he should or shoots far too frequently when he shouldn’t. He has become overtaken by the desire to score a goal to the point that it has now affected his general game.

This was never more summed up than when Minsu Kim went for an effort at St Mirren Park, only to fail miserably with it and then chase back with a frustrated look on his face before giving away a stupid and needless foul – bad form. Kim needs to be taken into a room and calmed down. There is obviously potential there.

Kim struggles with decision making

But curiously, national coach Robert Moreno also saw the flaw in this lad and demoted him back to the South Korean youth team. Minsu Kim has been a player with potential for quite a while. But he appears to have become a little greedy and self-centred with his play.

We see a lot of running around with the ball trying to score a goal. But unfortunately the passes are getting lazy, they’re getting misguided and his own play has become self-focused.

Minsu Kim needs to rediscover his game

We know how badly he wants to do well for Rangers. We are not questioning his appetite for success, his attitude with the club or his heart. But at the moment he is not adding much to Rangers’ game because he’s too desperate to be that success.

We’re not necessarily advocating dropping him and maybe one day soon it will click. But right now he’s a bit of a liability and isn’t adding what he should be to the team. We’re not quite sure how Derek McInnes should manage the young lad at this point.
