The Story in 60 Seconds

Ryan Naderi scored twice in the first half to help Rangers defeat Kilmarnock 3-1, sending Derek McInnes' team to the top of the Scottish Premiership. The victory marked Rangers' sixth consecutive league win, capping a turnaround after an early European exit and a slow start to the campaign. Peter Lovenkrands compared the 23-year-old Czech Republic forward to Germany legend Thomas Muller due to his unorthodox and effective style.

Naderi has stepped up as a regular starter following injuries to Lawrence Shankland and Youssef Chermiti, taking his recent tally to three goals in two games after previously netting the winner against Celtic. McInnes praised Naderi's work ethic and box presence as Rangers extended their winning streak to seven matches across all competitions.
