Dessers Earn Praise From Rangers Boss
The Rangers manager praised recent performances from the Super Eagles striker, stating that "these last six months have been the best six months of Cyriel's career, and we'll keep pushing him on."

Clement highlighted Dessers' work ethic and goal-scoring ability, saying: "He's honest, he works really hard for the team. He's scoring a lot of goals. Can he make more goals? Yes. But I don't know any striker in the world who scores all their chances."
Dessers' opening goal came after he turned sharply and skidded the ball into the net, while his second strike late in the game sealed the victory for Rangers.
