Dessers Reflects on Old Firm Draw: 'We Gave Our All But Too Many Points Dropped'

Cyriel Dessers delivered again for Rangers scoring his 25th goal of the season in fiery 1 - 1 Old Firm draw against Celtic at Ibrox.

Despite his growing goal tally, the Nigerian international continues to divide opinion among fans and pundits due to his 5 million pound sterling price tag.

Not Just Goals , but Expectations

Dessers struck just before half time following flowing move involving Mohamed Diomande & Vaclav Cerny but Adam Idah equalised for Celtic in the 2nd half to extend the Light Blues winless run to 5 matches.

Rangers now sit 2nd in the Championship group with 68 point, far behind league champions Celtic who lead with 85.

“We Can Be Satisfied But Not Happy”

Speaking after the game Dessers said:

“To score Old Firm goal at Ibrox's unbelievable. We’re little disappointed , we wanted to keep the lead. We gave our all but we dropped too many points this season against teams outside the top two”

Criticism Over Value, Not Output

BBC pundit Steven Naismith believes the issue isn't Dessers’ form but rather the burden of his transfer fee:

“He’s scored 25 goal but because he’s not natural goalscorer, he’s under more scrutiny. His price tag demands consistency and when the team drops points, the spotlight falls on him”

What’s Next for Dessers and Rangers?

With uncertainty surrounding the club’s managerial future, Dessers place next season remains unclear. Yet his goal output suggests he could still play vital role if properly supported.
