What happened. New data from the CIES Football Observatory suggests Olwethu Makhanya is now valued at £12m, a few months after Rangers paid £3m to sign him from Philadelphia Union.

• Rangers signed Makhanya from Philadelphia Union for £3m in the summer.
• The South Africa defender's value has reportedly quadrupled since the move.
• The valuation comes from the CIES Football Observatory.

If the valuation holds, Rangers could have a valuable asset on their hands.
