Rangers striker Danilo hinted at potentially being back in time for the Celtic clash, according to the Scottish Sun.
The news outlet reported on 28 March that the Brazilian then quickly took down the social media post after fans jumped on to the hope that he was closing in on a comeback.
He damaged his medial ligament back in December with an April return on the cards while the Old Firm is on the 7th.
The 24-year-old’s social media post teasing a potential return to the pitch was highly cryptic and certainly will have sparked speculation among the fans.
By uploading a video montage of his goals for the team accompanied by emojis of an egg timer and football, Danilo hinted at a countdown to his comeback.
The inclusion of a blue and white love heart further fueled speculation about his imminent return to action in crucial fixtures, particularly the upcoming title showdown against Celtic.
Despite undergoing surgery twice since his summer move from Feyenoord and enduring a lengthy rehabilitation process, the post might suggest that he may be closer to full fitness than anticipated.
A sooner-than-expected return for the Brazilian forward could provide a significant boost to Philippe Clement’s squad, especially considering the absence of several key players due to injuries.
With the title race heating up, Danilo’s presence on the pitch could bolster Rangers’ chances of securing victories and ultimately clinching the treble, making his potential return eagerly anticipated by both fans and the team alike.
