What happened. Youssef Chermiti suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in Rangers' 2-1 home defeat to Hibernian on Sunday, after colliding with advertising boards. The club announced he will be out for a significant period.

• Injury occurred shortly after Rangers turned down an offer for the striker.
• Chermiti joined from Everton in September 2025, reportedly a club-record fee.
• Manager Derek McInnes said the club's valuation wasn't met by Galatasaray.

“I'm led to believe the club's valuation of the player hasn't been met.”

— Derek McInnes

Chermiti's absence is a major blow as Rangers aim to build a team, with McInnes still seeking additions.
