Look, I get the heat. Fans are vocal and we’re allowed to be. But it’s daft to act like Chermiti is the only player deserving criticism, or to suggest others have been treated like club royalty. The £15m tag for Moore was mentioned — most of us think that sounds daft, but that’s EPL money talking, not a tally of what he’s done for Rangers so far.
Context matters — and so does consistency
To be fair, the majority of the squad have had their moments and their critics. Nobody’s above scrutiny. We’ve all seen debates about Skov and others; when asked recently who was player of the year, a lot of people shrugged. That tells you something about the season so far: there hasn’t been a standout performer week in, week out.
About Chermiti — harsh, but not unique
Chermiti has taken his fair share of criticism, and yes, some of it’s deserved. Saying he’s scored more than he’s missed is a stretch if you’ve watched every game — plenty of big chances have gone begging. The claim that he only scores in the five important games simplifies things too much. Football doesn’t hand out neat little boxes for ‘important’ fixtures; form is cumulative, and finishing is a habit built over time.
What needs to change
We need more goals from midfield, that’s been a fan talking point for a while. The front line must be sharper too. The hope is simple: every player lifts their level, takes responsibility and starts converting the chances that turn draws into wins. If that happens, the noise quietens down. Until then, expect debates, expect stick — and expect honest calls for improvement.
Rangers fans are passionate. We can want better without turning any one player into a scapegoat. Let’s hope the lads respond and start delivering the end product we all crave.
