Dingwall in December is about as far from the Copacabana as you can get.

But that's didn't dampen Danilo's dad's samba spirit as he watched his boy put Philippe Clement's side on easy street against Ross County in the Highlands. The Brazilian is back in the game following an injury-hit start to the Premiership season and after Hamza Igamane put Rangers ahead after just six minutes, the former Feyenoord man pounced on a Jack Hamilton clanger to double the advantage.

And the Sky cameras caught the frontman's father loving life in the stands in with the fans. They picked out Danilo sr, AKA Marcelo Silva, jumping up and down as the away support got into celebration mode, with Silva seemingly filing a video selfie, presumably for the rest of the family back home. And Danilo himself caught the footage on a rewatch, sharing the clip to his Instagram story with the caption: "You're crazy bro."

It's Tottenham up next for Philippe Clement's team, but Danilo won't be involved. He was left out of Gers' Europa League squad at the start of the season due to injury, so will have a watching brief only when Ange Postecoglou and his team roll back into town.

The upside however, is that leaves him fresh for next Sunday's Premier Sports Cup Final showdown with Celtic at Hampden. And if dad's in the stands for that one, then any goal celebrations will likely be on another level if his boy can help fire the Light Blues to an unlikely victory and return the only trophy Clement has managed to pick up as Ibrox boss so far.
