Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti has been crowned the Premiership's Player of the Month for February - and also picked up the Goal of the Month award.

The frontman's run of form during the month included a hat-trick in a crucial league win over Hearts and a double against Celtic, the first of which was a spectacular overhead kick.

That goal has been recognised too as the 21-year-old was doubly rewarded.

Chermiti, who struggled in the early part of the season but has improved greatly, said: “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.”
