This is the moment former Rangers loanee Fabio Silva scored in Las Palmas’ first league win of the season.
The 22-year-old’s arrival at Ibrox in January generated much excitement at the time, with the forward boasting a £35 million price tag following his move from Porto to Wolves in 2020.
Silva became Philippe Clement’s first signing but the Portuguese Under-21 international failed to impress during his five months in Glasgow, scoring just six goals in 25 appearances.
He returned to his parent club in the summer before securing a deadline day switch to La Liga side Las Palmas on loan for the 2024/25 season.

The former Porto forward joined Scotland internationals Oli McBurnie and Scott McKenna at the Canarian club who sit second bottom of the league, level on six points with last night’s opponents Valencia.
Pepelu fired the hosts in front from the penalty spot before being handed a red card in the second half, with Álex Muñoz equalising for Las Palmas before the break.

Silva bagged a second for the visitors to make it 2-1 after 54 minutes, with Alberto Moleiro also on the scoresheet for the Canarian club before César Tárrega netted in stoppage time for Los Che.
The 3-2 win at the Mestalla Stadium took Los Amarillos off the foot of the table and secured their first victory in La Liga since February.
