Rangers Striker Out Long-Term After Transfer Rejection

Rangers' Portuguese striker Youssef Chermiti is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage. The 22-year-old sustained the injury during Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Hibernian, following a challenge that sent him into advertising boards. The club confirmed via social media that Chermiti "will be out of action for a significant period of time."

This setback comes shortly after reports emerged that Turkish champions Galatasaray had made an offer for the player. Rangers manager Derek McInnes confirmed prior to the match that the club's valuation of Chermiti had not been met, emphasizing that the player is not for sale as they focus on building the team. Chermiti joined Rangers from Everton in September 2025 and has since made 43 appearances, scoring 15 goals.
