Danilo has endured a whirlwind experience since arriving at Rangers as an "exciting" striker from Dutch giants Feyenoord in July 2023. 

At times, when fit, the 25-year-old has showcased why he was brought to the Scottish Premiership giants on a five-year contact in a deal believed to be worth up to £6million. 

He's netted seven times from 26 games over the past 16 months at Rangers. But sadly, his availability to manager Philippe Clement has been extremely limited due to multiple injuries. 

He's made three substitute appearances since returning to fitness in early November, but is having to bide his time for a start. 

Danilo replaced Cyriel Dessers at half-time during the 1-1 league draw against Dundee United last weekend and could be given the nod when Rangers visit St Johnstone on Sunday. 

"I'm feeling great," the Brazilian told Rangers TV. "I'm working hard to get the minutes and get ready to try to help the team as much as possible.

"It's been rough. I would say at the point you get an injury at an unexpected moment, even if its one you try and avoid, try and get out of, sometimes setbacks just come. 

"Then you just try to turn it in a positive way. That's what's in my head, so I'm trying to have good people around me to try to make it as positive as possible. I'm looking forward for every game and every training as well to try to reach my maximum level as I can."
