Algerian winger targets greater attacking influence

Despite his satisfaction with the team’s victory over St Johnstone, Bouanani made it clear that he expects more from himself.

The winger was disappointed not to add to his goal tally at Ibrox, particularly after finding the net in the previous match against Dundee.

Rather than dwelling on the missed opportunities, he intends to analyse his performance and work on the areas that need improvement.

His ambition extends beyond scoring goals, with the Algerian also determined to contribute through assists and help Rangers collect victories.

“I always try to do better, to score goals, provide assists, and win every match. It’s an important week with three matches scheduled, and we absolutely had to win today. Now we can look ahead to what’s to come. The key is to take each match one at a time, step by step,” Bouanani concluded .

The comments underline his desire to become a more complete attacking player while maintaining the collective focus required during a busy schedule.

Rangers prepare for crucial week

Rangers’ 4-0 victory over St Johnstone provides a positive platform ahead of a demanding week that includes a league meeting with Hearts and a Premier Sports Cup semi-final against Aberdeen.

Both fixtures offer Bouanani another opportunity to demonstrate his value and continue building on his recent performances.

The winger will be aiming to maintain his place in the starting line-up while improving his contribution in the final third.

After scoring against Dundee, he will also be eager to return to the scoresheet and add more goals to his growing tally.

For Rangers, his continued development could provide a useful boost as they navigate an important stage of the campaign.

Bouanani has already shown that he can make an impact, and his latest performance suggests he is becoming increasingly comfortable in his new surroundings.

The challenge now is to translate that promise into consistent end product.

With the support of the Ibrox crowd and several important matches ahead, the Algerian international has an opportunity to turn his encouraging start into a sustained run of influential performances for Rangers.
