Youssef Chermiti has been named the Scottish Premiership Player of the Month for February and also picked up the Goal of the Month award after his breathtaking overhead kick against Celtic.

The Rangers striker and has been under the microscope since joining the Light Blues for £8 million last summer from Everton.

The 21-year-old has bagged a total of nine goals in 29 appearances for the Ibrox club and scored a brace against the Hoops in back-to-back Old Firm games.

Chermiti scored his first professional hat-trick in the Gers’ 4-2 victory over league leaders Hearts last month.

Speaking to the Rangers club website, the Portugal under-21 international spoke of his delight after picking up two awards.

“I am delighted to win both awards.

“My first goal against Celtic is something that will live with me forever.

As a striker, you want to play and score in these games, and thankfully, I have been able to do that several times this season.

“But I couldn’t have achieved anything without my teammates and the staff here at Rangers, who have helped me settle at the club.

“Now I want to repay them and the supporters by continuing to score goals and help us win matches.”
