Rangers' Chermiti out for 'significant period' with knee injury
Youssef Chermiti faces a long recovery from anterior cruciate ligament damage sustained shortly after Rangers turned down an offer for the striker.
Youssef Chermiti, a 22-year-old Portuguese striker for Rangers, has suffered a significant knee injury that will sideline him for an extended period. The injury occurred during a 2-1 home defeat to Hibernian when he collided with advertising boards following a challenging tackle. Chermiti, who joined Rangers from Everton in September 2025 for an estimated £22m, has made 43 appearances for the club, scoring 15 goals.
Despite transfer interest from other clubs, including Turkish champions Galatasaray, Rangers manager Derek McInnes insisted they valued Chermiti and would not sell him. The club expects to make between three and five more signings to bolster their team, with McInnes acknowledging that Chermiti's injury could impact their plans.
