AXED: Major Youssef Chermiti Rangers Rumour Surfaces | OneFootball

Rangers fans cling to a rare bit of hope

Rangers fans have had their troubles to seek lately, enduring the worst start any Rangers team has ever made in the Premiership. However, the Europa League campaign has been equally dreadful, leaving supporters drained and disillusioned. It has been an utterly dire start to the season, yet it shows few signs of improving anytime soon.

Rumours swirl over Youssef Chermiti’s future

Nevertheless, there is a glimmer of hope for Rangers fans today. A major rumour emerged overnight suggesting that Youssef Chermiti, the much-maligned signing from Everton, has been axed from the matchday squad. This is still early breaking news and remains unconfirmed, although Ibrox sources have hinted it is a distinct possibility.

Chermiti embodies Rangers’ current failings

In truth, Chermiti has become the very symbol of everything wrong at the club. Moreover, sporting director Kevin Thelwell’s summer signings were a disaster, assembling what fans see as a poor EFL-level side. The reported £10 million outlay on Chermiti stunned supporters, and therefore his dire performances have summed up Rangers’ current malaise perfectly.

Could Danny Röhl be asserting control?

If the rumours prove accurate, Chermiti’s exclusion would be warmly welcomed by fans who have long lost patience. More importantly, it could signal that Danny Röhl finally has the authority to choose his own squad and make his own selections. Consequently, that would mark a crucial step in Rangers’ rebuild. Still, this could yet prove false. Even so, supporters will cling to any sign that change might finally be coming.
