Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury during Sunday's 2-1 home defeat by Hibernian. The 22-year-old Portuguese forward was hurt when he collided with advertising boards following a heavy challenge and was stretchered off before half-time. The injury is a significant blow for Rangers given his importance to the squad, and comes shortly after the club rejected an offer for the player.

Chermiti joined Ibrox from Everton in September 2025, reportedly becoming Rangers' costliest signing since Tore Andre Flo in 2000, and has scored 15 goals in 43 appearances. Manager Derek McInnes confirmed before Sunday's match that a reported approach from Turkish champions Galatasaray had not met the club's valuation, insisting Chermiti would remain a Rangers player. A club statement said he would be "out of action for a significant period of time," with no firm return date given.
