ALLY MCCOIST COMPLETELY STUNNED BY RANGERS STAR PERFORMANCE VS HEARTS, NAMING HIM THE PLAYER OF THE SEASON

Rangers legend Ally McCoist has left the blue half of Glasgow in no doubt about his feelings following a pulsating 4-2 victory over title-rivals Hearts at Ibrox. In a performance that McCoist described as “completely staggering,” the iconic striker singled out Youssef Chermiti as the catalyst for the win, remarkably naming the young forward his “Player of the Season” live on air. The match, a high-stakes encounter that saw Rangers claw back ground against a relentless Hearts side, was defined by Chermiti’s clinical brace and tireless work rate, which McCoist argued has fundamentally changed the dynamic of Danny Rohl’s squad.
​”I am completely stunned by what I’ve just seen,” McCoist exclaimed during his post-match analysis. “We’ve been looking for that spark all year, and tonight, Chermiti didn’t just provide a spark; he set the whole place on fire. To perform like that under that kind of pressure against the league leaders is nothing short of heroic.” McCoist’s bold claim that the forward is now the frontrunner for Player of the Season honors comes at a pivotal moment, as Rangers moved within striking distance of the top of the table. The pundit highlighted Chermiti’s second goal—a powerful header from an Andreas Skov Olsen cross—as a “classical” example of center-forward play that reminded him of the club’s golden eras.
​The viral reaction from McCoist has resonated deeply with a fanbase that has been desperate for a new hero to emerge during a turbulent campaign. While other pundits have been more cautious with their season-long predictions, McCoist insisted that the impact Chermiti has had since breaking into the starting XI is “non-negotiable” evidence of his value. He praised the player’s “big-game mentality,” noting that while others might shrink in a must-win game at Ibrox, Chermiti thrived, dragging his teammates toward a vital three points.
​The “stunned” endorsement from the club’s greatest-ever goalscorer has since dominated social media, with “Player of the Season” trending across Glasgow. For McCoist, the performance wasn’t just a flash in the pan but a statement of intent that could define the remainder of the Scottish Premiership title race. As Rangers fans celebrate a massive result, McCoist’s words have set a new bar for the squad, placing Chermiti firmly at the center of the club’s hunt for silverware.
