Qudus SalihuIbrox was a cauldron of celebration today as Rangers dismantled Queen’s Park 8-0 in a historic Scottish Cup Fifth Round masterclass. While the scoreline was a throwback to the legendary 1974 rout, the afternoon belonged to one man: Tochi Chukwuani. The Danish midfielder’s “outrageous” performance has not only secured Rangers’ place in the next round but has also sparked a viral sensation across social media as fans debuted a series of deafening new chants in his honor.
Chukwuani, who capped off the demolition with a clinical 90th-minute brace, was the heartbeat of Danny Röhl’s side. His ability to dictate play and drive forward from midfield left the Queen’s Park defense in tatters. As the seventh and eighth goals flew in, the Ibrox faithful erupted into a melodic new tribute to their rising star, set to the tune of a high-tempo dance track. Clips of the “Chukwuani Samba” have already racked up millions of views on TikTok and X, with supporters praising the 22-year-old’s “monstrous” energy and sheer technical brilliance.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch when the final whistle blew, with the new chants continuing long after the players left the pitch. Fans were heard singing about Chukwuani “owning the Govan grass,” a testament to a performance where he completed nearly 95% of his passes and won every physical duel in the center of the park. It wasn’t just a win; it was a statement of intent, and in Chukwuani, the Rangers fans believe they have found their new midfield general.
Even captain James Tavernier, who secured a brace of his own, pointed to the Dane during the post-match celebrations, acknowledging the shift in the stadium’s energy. With Rangers in this kind of clinical form and the fans finding a new hero to sing about, the momentum heading into the quarter-finals is undeniable. If Chukwuani continues to deliver “outrageous” displays like today’s, that viral chant is going to be the soundtrack to Rangers’ season.
