You may overlook the Ibrox supporter’s excitement when the Rangers signed Danilo from Feyenoord in the summer.
Arriving in Scotland from an Eredivisie team that had won the title, this Brazilian striker, who cost £6 million, was the largest known outlay made by the club while its finances were relaxed.
However, things haven’t gone as planned for Scotland’s newest samba star since arriving in Glasgow after a protracted stay in his now-adopted nation of the Netherlands.
An initially bright start was ended by a soul-crushing face fracture received while scoring against St Johnstone, and Danilo gave Rangers glimpses of his vicious side before a knee injury against Hearts kept him out for months.
Now that the devoted Christian is speeding up his recuperation from surgery, we think he may become a future fan favourite for the Rangers.
Danilo creates anticipation before Rangers’ injury comeback
The Brazilian has been steadily getting back into shape and has been posting updates on social media about his progress. He hasn’t been seen since that 1-0 victory over Hearts in December.
Rangers’ season has been marred by injuries, and none more so than the fact that their star summer acquisition has missed the majority of it due to injury.
Now, as this Ibrox super hero sets his eyes on a comeback, Danilo is igniting Rangers fans’ excitement on social media once more by sharing a bible verse and an image of himself wearing a protective mask.

Before the summer transfer, images of caipirinhas and Brazilian flags hinted at the deal, indicating that former manager Michael Beale was quite excited about it.
However, following a shaky start to the season, the former Rangers manager was replaced by Philippe Clement, who now has the team solidly focused on winning a spectacular treble.
Our arsenal will be further strengthened in the closing stages of the season if Danilo can make a late comeback in the latter stretch of the campaign, as Clement has already suggested.
More importantly, though, if Danilo can rejoin the club come campaign’s crucial conclusion, the Brazilian might earn more than just hardware by May.
The striker, who has maintained an inspiringly upbeat attitude during a challenging debut season, has the ideal opportunity to cement his legacy in Rangers’ hearts as well.
With the Rangers, Danilo has made 21 appearances (10 starts), contributing five assists and six goals.
