How would you judge Skov Olsen's start to life at Rangers?

After a winter transfer window expected to raise Rangers to the next level, Andreas Skov Olsen was viewed as the marquee acquisition.

Signing on loan from Wolfsburg - where he has struggled for minutes and form - the winger has moved to Scotland in the hope of recapturing his best.

The 26-year-old scored 49 goals and provided 30 assists in 124 games for Club Brugge before his move to Germany and has eight goals and 10 assists in 40 Denmark caps - numbers that highlight his top level.

On the face of it, a goal and two assists in just five Scottish Premiership starts for Rangers is a good return for any wide man, never mind one who is still attempting to work his way back to full match sharpness at a new club.

However, some Rangers fans have been underwhelmed by the Dane's introduction.

Olsen struggled to make a real impact in his first two starts - a win at home to Dundee and goalless draw at Hibernian - and was hooked at half-time at Livingston with the league's bottom side a goal up.

In starts against title rivals Hearts and Celtic, though, the winger has registered assists in each of those games, setting up Youssef Chermiti on both occasions.

But what does the underlying data tell us?

The sample size is small, given Olsen has only played just 352 minutes, but he is averaging more assists per 90 minutes than any of his team-mates.

His per-90 average of three for chances created is also higher than any other Rangers player.

However, Olsen ranks outside the top 10 for dribbles attempted and completed, while he is 16th for shots and has managed just three shots on target in total.

Those numbers perhaps suggest Rangers have got themselves more of a creator, rather than a modern wide forward who will rack up goals.

With Danny Rohl, whose side have suffered from a lack of open-play creativity, seemingly content to deploy two centre forwards, that could prove beneficial for the run-in.
