Ibrox View: 100% Rangers star's flawless display vs Dundee United could kickstart Ibrox career

Djeidi Gassama was quite simply sensational for Rangers against Dundee United.

Rangers moved one step closer to the Scottish Premiership title with a 4-2 win over Dundee United on Saturday, with several players earning their plaudits.

Mikey Moore had another excellent game for the Gers, despite not having anything to show for it, while the likes of Ryan Naderi and Dujon Sterling topped off their performances with a goal.

However, plenty of attention should be reserved for Gassama’s display after he was brought on in the second half, with him grabbing an assist just minutes after coming on.

Gassama has struggled at Rangers lately, but this may be what he needs to get back to his best.

Djeidi Gassama’s game vs Dundee United by the numbers

First and foremost, Danny Rohl needs his full squad to contribute when called upon, and with an assist just seven minutes after his introduction, Gassama did just that.

However, it was his all-round display at Ibrox that deserves so much more attention, and for several reasons.

Gassama completed 100 per cent of his 16 attempted passes in the game, with three chances created from them.

His only attempted dribble was successful, while his only attempted long ball also made it to a teammate.

On top of that, he won 100 per cent of his duels after coming on, with five ground duels and two tackles, showcasing his desire for the cause.

Quite frankly, Rohl could not have asked for Gassama to have a bigger impact, which can only be a good thing for him going forward.

Could we see Gassama return to Rangers starting XI?

With two goals and four assists, Gassama has not had the level of impact many expected of him in the Scottish Premiership.

However, part of that has to be due to the fact that he has been in and out of their starting lineup, especially as of late.

His display against Dundee United may well have earned him a chance to return from the start next time out, especially with Andreas Skov Olsen having failed to impress in the 45 minutes he was on the pitch.

Rangers are back in action next Sunday, when they travel to take on Falkirk.
