It may go down as Youssef Chermiti’s last hurrah for Rangers F.C., but what a night to go out on. Rangers F.C. emphatically ended a four-game losing streak against Falkirk with a 5-2 win. However, the night belonged to Youssef Chermiti, who led the way with a hat trick to secure all three points and end the club’s dreaded curse. The Portuguese powerhouse was everywhere tonight as he flipped the mood of the stadium from worried to euphoric. Chermiti served up a reminder as to why he was such a pivotal signing this campaign.
In 38 appearances, Chermiti has been the talk of the town across media outlets, social media channels, and top sportsbooks, scoring 15 goals. For the season, Chermiti has also notched four assists in over 2,400 minutes of gameplay.
However, if you are looking for commentary, news, and expert World Cup tips about Chermiti playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2026 World Cup, sadly, you won’t find him. Despite Chermiti’s offensive dominance, he has yet to break through Portugal’s firs team. Thus, he will be absent for the upcoming World Cup games.
What the Future Holds for Chermiti
However, that doesn’t mean the chatter and rumors aren’t swirling around Chermiti, far from it. Rumors continue to persist about the fate of Chermiti’s future, but you wouldn’t know it by his passionate performance. There was sentiment in the air, and if he does depart, you have to wonder if this will be looked back on as a going-away present.
But headman Danny Rohl wants the Ibrox side to keep their key men fit and firing through the summer, including Chermiti. Chermiti signed a multi-year deal for Rangers F.C. However, the interest in the transfer window for his services keeps growing, especially after his heroic hat trick.
Rohl says he’s prepared to wait and see if he can get Mikey Moore another loan deal from Spurs, and mentioned that he pitched the idea to Youssef.
“I also spoke to him eight weeks ago, and we discussed goals. Not only in the big games, but also in the games where he just has to score goals. He has that quality, and he gives me plenty of hope that he’ll be here from day one next season.”
Fans can only hope that Chermiti co-signs the pitch, because the rumor mill surrounding FC Porto acquiring him keeps growing. The Portuguese powers are said to be monitoring Chermiti closely ahead of the summer transfer window, especially after his recent hat-tricks and improved form. However, a major development could be, should he play for Porto next season, this could be Chermiti’s ticket to the 2030 World Cup.
Chermiti has apparently been scouted by PSV several times this season and is considered a target for an attacking addition in light of his dramatic in-season development. He has impressed Eredivisie scouts with performances against top opponents.
Way back in January, Fenerbahçe reportedly bid £13m for Chermiti’s services. However, the Rangers turned it down. Should a significantly higher bid come, it might be too tough for Rangers F.C. to turn down.
