Youssef Chermiti insists Rangers still believe they can go on and clinch the Premiership title despite suffering two Old Firm setbacks over the last fortnight.
Danny Rohl’s side squandered a winning position against Celtic on the day that Chermiti scored a spectacular overhead kick. A week later, the hosts suffered an agonising penalty shoot-out defeat to their derby counterparts.

Rangers are now gearing up for a trip to face St Mirren on Sunday knowing that more lost ground could well spell the end of their title ambitions. Hearts are six clear of Rohl’s side with just nine games remaining this term.
Chermiti landed the Goal of the Month award for his acrobatic effort against Celtic and collected the Player of the Month prize after also scoring a hat-trick in the win over Hearts. Now he is determined to help put more points on the board to give Rangers hope heading into the final weeks of the campaign.
“Yeah, obviously it was a great month for me. I think the team did well as well, so I think it was good for everyone,” Chermiti told Sky Sports News. “I've been trying that goal for a few times, but yeah, fortunately it happens in this game.
“Old Firm games are good to score, as I said before, so it was a really good moment for me.
“I feel more confident in the team, with my teammates, with the fans, they give me a lot of love now. The manager, everyone in the club helping me, so that's really good for me.
“I think everyone is looking for the same target. Everyone believes we can win the league.
“We've got 27 points to go, nine games, so that's the most important thing for us, so we're going to look forward, game by game, and we'll see.”
