Since his £8 million arrival from Everton at the end of the summer transfer window, the narrative surrounding Youssef Chermiti has made consistently grim reading for Rangers supporters.
Through no initial fault of his own, Chermiti became the favoured stick those disgruntled punters used to beat the much derided and now departed sporting director Kevin Thelwell.
While the Portuguese under-21 international striker had no control over the size of his transfer fee and the added pressure it placed upon him, however, he has barely done anything to alter perceptions of him as an over-priced recruitment flop.
