Everyone to like Youssef Chermiti’s Instagram post after first Rangers goal vs Kilmarnock
Youssef Chermiti bagged his first Rangers goal against Kilmarnock on Sunday.
Chermiti signed for Rangers from Everton over the summer in a highly controversial move on the terraces at Ibrox.
The striker has come under pressure in Govan, especially after a shocking performance for Rangers against Brann in the Europa League.
Kevin Thelwell has been slammed by Rangers fans for the signing, but the 21-year-old will now hope to have turned a corner in G51.
Chermiti has taken to social media to share his delight after his strike for the Light Blues, with plenty of star names delighted for the forward.
Youssef Chermiti backed by Everton favourites after Kilmarnock goal
Rangers secured a 3-1 win against Kilmarnock as Danny Rohl got his Scottish Premiership up and running after defeat on the continent in mid-week.
The German utilised an attacking outfit and wasn’t afraid to make changes, bringing four substitutes on with over 20 minutes to go.
Chermiti entered the Ibrox stage in the 69th minute and was able to have the desired impact as he found the back of the net just three minutes later.
Eddie Breach should have done better in goal for Killie, but the power and pace on the strike saw the shot-stopper flapping the ball into his own net.
The striker celebrated my mocking the talk surrounding his name, before taking to Instagram on 26 October to share celebratory images of his first Rangers goal.
The Portuguese forward has been met by plenty of likes from teammates, new and old, with Everton stars Tim Iroegbunam, Dwight McNeil, Carlos Alcaraz, Idrissa Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye and Jarrad Branthwaite getting involved.
Former Toffees teammates Orel Mangala, Jack Harrison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have joined in alongside national team colleague Fabio Silva.
Familiar faces at Rangers, including Djeidi Gassama, Emmanuel Fernandez, Danilo, Max Aarons, Dujon Sterling, and Mohamed Diomande, also liked the post.
Chermiti looked much-improved in Rangers win vs Kilmarnock
There has been little positivity surrounding the young forward after his sizable move from Merseyside in the summer.
A large sum was spent on the 21-year-old, considering he never actually netted a goal for Everton across two seasons in the Premier League.
That hadn’t looked like changing in G51, but against Kilmarnock, he did look better and more like the player that the Light Blues need.
The forward contributed massively in attacking areas as he grabbed the third goal of the day, while helping to secure a much-needed three points.
Rohl and Thelwell will now be hoping to see more of the same from Chermiti in the coming weeks for the Gers.
