The Story in 60 Seconds

Mark Atkinson argues that Rangers manager Derek McInnes must introduce on-loan winger Badredine Bouanani into the starting lineup after his impactful display during a 2-2 draw with Hearts at Tynecastle on Wednesday. Kevin Kelsy gave Rangers an early lead before Claudio Braga and Calvin Miller put Hearts ahead. An 89th-minute header from Olwethu Makhanya, assisted by Bouanani, salvaged a point for the visitors.

Atkinson notes that Hearts' costly individual mistakes allowed Rangers to extend their unbeaten run to ten matches. While McInnes pointed out that attackers Ryan Naderi and Kelsy require time to develop hold-up play, the writer believes Bouanani's performance off the bench should earn him a starting role over Djeidi Gassama.
