BangerboyI have seen dominance and I have seen mind games, and then there is this Rangers star. It is no longer a debate—he is currently the best player in the league at that position after his relentless home and away performances all season.
The conversation surrounding the Scottish Premiership’s elite elite shifted irrevocably following Rangers’ commanding 5-2 victory over Falkirk. At the epicenter of this masterclass was Youssef Chermiti, whose breathtaking hat-trick completely dismantled the Bairns and highlighted an individual campaign defined by ruthless efficiency. The 21-year-old Portuguese forward put on a clinic, finding the back of the net twice in the opening six minutes—including a spectacular 22-yard volley—before sealing his treble with a powerful second-half header.
What makes Chermiti’s current status undeniable is not just the volume of his goals, but the terrifying consistency of his performances regardless of the venue. Critics who once questioned his adjustment to Glasgow have been completely silenced by his ability to dictate play and terrorize center-backs on the road just as easily as he does under the Ibrox lights. His home and away split this season has provided Rangers with an indispensable focal point in attack, combining physical dominance with tactical intelligence that completely disrupts opposition game plans.
While Rangers’ broader campaign under Danny Rohl has faced its share of turbulence and a third-place finish, Chermiti has operated on an entirely different echelon. He has grown into a forward who doesn’t just rely on service; he creates space, forces errors, and plays with a psychological edge that embodies the “mind games” needed at the very top level. By terrorizing Falkirk yet again following a previous 6-3 thriller, Chermiti has cemented his status. The debate is over: when it comes to leading the line in Scotland right now, nobody touches the Rangers frontman.
