The 21-year-old has had a mixed time since signing for Rangers from Everton last summer, but has certainly shown he is capable of rising to the big occasion.
Chermiti has scored nine goals in the Scottish Premier League this season, eight of which came against leaders Hearts (four) or Celtic (four). After scoring twice against Celtic in a 3-1 win over the Old Firm earlier in the campaign, the summer signing is at it again.
Chermiti’s brace put Rangers in control of the derby, with his magnificent opener. The striker acrobatically met Andres Skov Olsen’s cross and flashed an overhead kick past Viljami Sinisalo in the Celtic goal.

A second shortly afterwards Rangers’ lead doubled, although Celtic pulled a goal back through Kieran Tierney just before the hour mark. Can Rangers hold on to three precious points in the title race?
