Cyriel Dessers' dilemma: Five reasons staying at Rangers is the right call
Published: January 27, 2025
Cyriel Dessers has been making headlines for his remarkable performances on the field, despite facing competition for a starting spot at Rangers.
With rumors circulating about his potential departure, here are five compelling reasons the Nigerian striker should stay at Ibrox and continue his journey with the club.
1. Consistent Form and Impact on the Pitch
Dessers has shown resilience and determination throughout the season. Despite being relegated to the bench for some matches, he has consistently delivered when called upon.
His recent form, which includes scoring in four consecutive matches, demonstrates his ability to make a difference.
With 18 goals and five assists in 35 appearances this season, Dessers has proven he can be a key figure for Rangers, and his growing consistency is a reason why he should stay.
2. Managerial Backing from Philippe Clement
Rangers manager Philippe Clement has firmly backed Dessers, recognizing his hard work and commitment.
Clement’s decision to start Dessers in the crucial match against Dundee United following his impressive performances as a substitute speaks volumes about the striker’s value to the team.
The manager emphasized the importance of Dessers’ mentality and work ethic, qualities that make him a crucial part of the squad.
This strong support from the manager should give Dessers confidence in his role at Rangers.
3. Opportunity for Increased Playing Time
With Hamza Igamane currently competing for the starting spot, Dessers’ recent performances have made it difficult for the manager to ignore him.
Clement's decision to start him against Dundee United shows that Dessers' hard work and determination are paying off.
By staying at Rangers, Dessers will have the opportunity to continue earning more minutes on the pitch, potentially securing a regular spot in the starting lineup as the season progresses.
4. Rangers’ Ambitious Goals and Competitive Environment
Rangers are consistently competing for Scottish Premiership titles and pushing for success in European competitions.
As a part of one of Scotland’s top teams, Dessers has the opportunity to play at the highest level and showcase his talents on both domestic and international stages.
Rangers’ competitive environment will allow Dessers to develop further and challenge himself in high-stakes matches, which is invaluable for his growth as a player.
5. Beginning to win over the Rangers Fans
Dessers has started to win the hearts of the fans with his recent impressive displays
His growing connection with the Rangers supporters has been evident in the reaction to his performances.
The backing of the fanbase can be an incredible source of motivation and confidence, and continuing to play for a club with such passionate supporters will help Dessers reach his full potential.
