The axed Kevin Thelwell's claim about Youssef Chermiti is gaining traction at Rangers, sparking debate among fans. Thelwell, once a key figure at Rangers, made a bold statement at a private event, revealing that Chermiti's performance at Everton outshone that of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. This claim, initially met with skepticism, is now being re-evaluated as Chermiti's recent form at Rangers has been impressive. Chermiti, signed for £8 million from Everton, faced early criticism for his lack of experience. However, his match-winning double against Celtic and hat-trick against Hearts have revitalized Rangers' title challenge. The article highlights how Thelwell's defense of Chermiti in October, despite initial ridicule, might have been prescient. Thelwell argued that Chermiti's potential was underestimated due to a lack of Premier League experience, but his qualities and goal-scoring ability were recognized. The article concludes by questioning whether Thelwell's insight into Chermiti's capabilities was ahead of his time, leaving fans to ponder the implications of his axing and the potential impact on Rangers' future success.
