R7C4 is the only square in row 7 that can be <4>

R7C3 is the only square in row 7 that can be <9>

R3C2 is the only square in column 2 that can be <8>

Squares R4C4 and R4C9 in row 4 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <37>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the row.

R4C1 - removing <3> from <356> leaving <56>

R4C3 - removing <37> from <135678> leaving <1568>

R4C6 - removing <3> from <135> leaving <15>

R4C7 - removing <37> from <3678> leaving <68>

Squares R1C3 and R8C3 in column 3 form a simple naked pair. These 2 squares both contain the 2 possibilities <23>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the column.

R3C3 - removing <23> from <235> leaving <5>

R5C3 - removing <3> from <137> leaving <17>

R6C3 - removing <3> from <35678> leaving <5678>

R9C3 - removing <2> from <126> leaving <16>

Squares R4C9<37>, R5C7<2379>, R5C8<279> and R6C9<237> in block 6 form a comprehensive naked quad. These 4 squares can only contain the 4 possibilities <2379>. Since each of the squares must contain one of the possibilities, they can be eliminated from the other squares in the block.

R6C7 - removing <237> from <23678> leaving <68>

Squares R4C7, R6C7, R4C3 and R6C3 form a Type-3 Unique Rectangle on <68>. Upon close inspection, it is clear that:
