Youssef Chermiti, born on 24 May 2004 (age 21), is a Portuguese striker with Rangers. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m) presence, he wears the number 9 shirt and gives them an obvious focal point, which is not always the same thing as having a reliable one.
In 2025-26, though, Chermiti has been more than a shape at the top end of the team. He has scored 12 goals in 27 league appearances, his most productive league season to date, and remains a regular first-team presence. He has also featured twice in the League Cup, once in the Scottish Cup and eight times in the Europa League, taking him to 38 Rangers appearances in all competitions, with 12 goals.
His form this season has been strong overall, with recent outings sitting above his usual level for the campaign. His market value is around £7.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Chermiti is still a developing centre-forward, but his 2025-26 season has given Rangers regular minutes, European involvement and a clear league return. For now, he is not just a squad option; he is part of their current first-team picture.
