The Brazilian joined Gers for £6 million in the summer, leaving Dutch powerhouse Feyenoord behind. Given the amount of money spent on him, the transfer thrilled Rangers fans in the summer, but as we all know, that doesn’t necessarily equate to success on the field.
And Danilo has perhaps shown Rangers supporters that. During his brief tenure at Govan, the striker has been quite inconsistent, displaying both his strengths and weaknesses.
These were made clear on Wednesday during Tynecastle’s victory over Hearts, when Danilo had enough opportunities to score a hat-trick.
However, he won’t have a chance to make up for those wrongs anytime soon because Danilo was seriously hurt during the Jambos game.
Regardless of how brilliant or horrible Danilo has been this season, Rangers will suffer a blow when manager Philippe Clement confirms on Friday that he will be sidelined until after the Premiership Christmas break owing to a knee injury.
This implies that the 24-year-old will miss two crucial games—the Old Firm matchup against Celtic and the Viaplay Cup Final against Aberdeen.
Danilo has now addressed the injury that will prevent him from playing during the hectic Rangers holiday season on social media.
Danilo messages Rangers supporters
The 24-year-old stated on social media that she was temporarily unable to perform what she loved most due to need. For the next games, I shall cheer on the team virtually. Right now, I have to concentrate on healing my knee and returning as soon as I can.
