Eamonn Brophy (Ross County), Mikael Mandron (St. Mirren), Matty Kennedy (Kilmarnock), Alistair Johnston (Celtic) and Stuart Findlay (Kilmarnock) complete the Team of the Week.
Dessers registered four shots against Hearts with two ending up in the back of the net, made one key pass and returned a pass success rate of one hundred percent.
The 29-year-old earned a rating of 8.75/10 for his performance against Hearts.
