Tuur Rommens has publicly endorsed Naderi on social media following the striker’s decisive goal during the narrow Rangers victory over Motherwell at Ibrox Stadium.
The German centre-forward started on the bench but replaced Lawrence Shankland after just eight minutes when the club captain suffered an early hamstring injury.
Naderi quickly capitalised on a mistake from goalkeeper Alex Paulsen, dispossessing the visitor outside the penalty area to roll home a 12th-minute winner.
Support Shows Growing Squad Unity
Rommens missed the fixture through an injury of his own but celebrated the performance, commenting “Alter” on a social media update to praise his teammate.
This off-field backing highlights the positive camaraderie developing within Derek McInnes’ dressing room as the manager navigates a demanding schedule.

Fresh Competition For Attacking Places
The imposing target man will now compete directly with Kevin Kelsy for a regular starting berth in the Scottish Premiership.
The marquee summer arrival struck the crossbar after being introduced in the second half, giving McInnes multiple options in the final third as his team recorded a third consecutive league win.
Rangers must now assess their lingering fitness casualties before preparing for an upcoming double-header against Celtic.
