'Reminds me of Muller' - Naderi proving worth in Rangers revival

After a slow start to his Rangers career, striker Ryan Naderi is playing an integral role in the club's title challenge and proving his doubters wrong.

Rangers striker Ryan Naderi has come to the fore to help Rangers win seven in a row in all competitions

A previously unfancied striker is playing a crucial role in Rangers' revival - and even earning comparisons with Germany legend Thomas Muller.

Ryan Naderi pounced for a first-half double against Kilmarnock as Derek McInnes' side overcame the disruption of the extended international break to earn a sixth straight league win and rise to the top of the Scottish Premiership.

That outcome enhanced a turnaround in fortunes for Rangers after the disappointment of their European exit, having also taken just a point from their first two Premiership games.

They now lie a point ahead of Celtic, who visit Motherwell on Sunday under pressure to regain their place at the top.
