Unmasking the Rangers ‘character’ concerns as major dressing room claim met head on

Rangers defender Olwethu Makhanya questioned his team's character and mentality following a 2-2 Scottish Premiership draw against Hearts at Tynecastle. Despite Kevin Kelsy opening the scoring, second-half goals from Claudio Braga and Calvin Miller put Hearts ahead before Makhanya scored a late equalizer. The South African subsequently accused his squad of lacking desire and failing to handle key battles.

A media panel, including Graeme Young, David Irvine, and Blair Meikle, agreed that Makhanya correctly highlighted a persistent leadership deficit within the squad. The panelists suggested manager Derek McInnes would likely welcome Makhanya's public accountability as he attempts to address the team's ongoing mentality issues.
