Youssef Chermiti hung in the air before sending a spectacular acrobatic effort beyond Celtic goalkeeper Viljami Sinisalo to give Rangers the lead in last Sunday’s 2-2 Old Firm draw at Ibrox.
And with it the much-maligned Light Blues striker has sparked a debate on social media - was his incredible overhead kick the best goal EVER scored in 138 years of the famous derby fixture? It’s quite a claim given some of the memorable goals scored in this iconic match-up throughout the years.
Chermiti undoubtedly displayed astonishing technique as he rose with his back to goal to send Andreas Skov Olsen’s cross into the back of the net and send the home crowd wild. It marked the third of four goals scored against Celtic this season and will live long in the memory.
Here, GlasgowWorld picks out ten of the finest goals in Old Firm derby history that could rival Chermiti as the greatest of all time:
