Rangers forward Danilo delivered a sensational performance in the club’s latest pre-season friendly, taking part in all four goals in a commanding 4-1 win that has fans buzzing with excitement ahead of the new campaign.
The Brazilian looked every bit the marquee striker Rangers hoped he would be when they signed him, scoring twice and assisting twice in a complete attacking display. Danilo’s clinical finishing and sharp movement caused constant problems for the opposition, while his link-up play showcased improved chemistry with his teammates, particularly Todd Cantwell and Tom Lawrence.
In the image captured from the match, Danilo is seen celebrating with sheer joy as his teammates rush in to join him — a scene that epitomized the energy and unity Russell Martin has been striving to instill in the squad.
Having endured an injury-disrupted first season, Danilo now appears to be in peak physical condition. With Rangers aiming to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title from Celtic, his form could be the key difference-maker.
Russell Martin, watching from the sidelines, was clearly pleased with what he saw, describing Danilo’s outing as “electric” and “a glimpse of what’s to come.” The new boss is building a system based on fluid, attacking football — and Danilo’s performance suggests he’s ready to be the focal point.
As Rangers continue their pre-season preparations, supporters will be hoping this is just the beginning of a prolific campaign for their No. 99.
