Rabiu AminuYoussef Chermiti gave a brief interview to RangersTV after the 3-1 victory over Kilmarnock on Sunday, October 26, 2025, during which he scored his long-awaited first goal for the club.
On scoring his first goal: > “It is an important day for me to score my first goal as a Rangers player.”
> * On the team’s performance: > “It was a good game from everyone. We conceded a goal but then we came back and we scored two more… it was a great performance from everyone.” > “We played well in the first-half, and at half-time everyone was saying just keep doing what we are doing and then we scored two more goals.”
> * On the goal itself: > “I just took a touch and hit it [from range].” > “It was great to celebrate, and my mum and sister were here today too.”
> * On his life at Glasgow and working with the new coach: > “I like it, everyone is helping me on the training ground, I am enjoying it. It has been good, it has been short with the new head coach, but we have been enjoying it on the pitch and at training.”
> * On the immediate future: > “Now we are looking forward to the next game, we got three points today and now we are just looking forward, and we are going to try and win more games.”
> Note on the Celebration:Chermiti’s celebration—where he made a talking/shutting-up gesture with his hands—was widely discussed and interpreted by media and pundits as a reaction to the criticism he had faced for his slow start since his summer transfer. While Chermiti did not explicitly address this gesture in the club’s interview, his comments about the goal being “important” and the release of emotion were clear.
