Craig Moore has called out Rangers striker Youssef Chermiti for his 'swagger', insisting that the big-money signing has work to do before displaying such confidence on the park.

The 21-year-old, signed from Everton on Deadline Day last year, has scored nine times in all competitions for his club, including big goals against the likes of Celtic and Hearts.

Despite this, former Rangers defender Moore would start North Macedonian forward Bojan Miovski in front of the £8million man.

"Nobody stands out really from the pack (up front). For me, in terms of a natural goalscorer, I would say Miovski," the Australian said on GO Radio. "When he's fit, naturally, I think he's the best striker. He's not the one who's going to start.

"Chermiti's the one who's definitely going to be the one who's used the most. One thing I picked up when I watched Rangers at home to Aberdeen about Chermiti, there's a little bit of a swagger there.

"In a good way? No, not for me. Swagger can be good, but swagger needs to be earned. He's still a boy, he's still 21-years-old. You've still got so much to do in your career, son.

"Swagger comes on the back of hard work, consistently winning games of football for your club. Swagger comes when you've got a medal round your neck at the end of the season. A little bit too early for me.

"He's young, and that will all come, but I did notice that against Aberdeen."
