Fabio Silva had a big decision to make in January – Celtic or Rangers? Despite advice telling him that his game would suit the Hoops more, the 21-year-old ultimately chose to join Rangers on loan, much to the surprise of his father, Jorge Silva.
Signed by Wolves for a hefty fee, Silva’s time at Ibrox didn’t exactly go as planned. Despite scoring six goals in 33 appearances, he faced criticism for alleged simulation and underwhelming performances. However, his father insists that Fabio could have easily ended up at Celtic instead.
Jorge Silva shared that many advised Fabio to join Celtic due to their playing style being more compatible with his abilities. However, Fabio was drawn to Rangers for reasons beyond just football – he developed a love for the club and its fans.
Despite his son’s efforts to contribute to matches and create opportunities for his team, Jorge was perplexed by the negativity directed at Fabio, especially after his impactful performance in the Old Firm derby. Despite the challenges he faced at Rangers, Fabio’s loyalty and dedication to the club remained unwavering, even in the face of criticism from both old players and fans.
In the end, Fabio’s choice to join Rangers over Celtic may have surprised many, but his commitment to the club and the game itself never wavered, despite the challenges and criticisms he faced.
