Rangers FC: Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane shine in Scottish Premiership

Driven by their African stars Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane, Rangers FC put an end to a seven-game winless streak at home this Sunday, May 11, 2025. Thanks to their Nigerian and Moroccan forwards, Rangers cruised to a 4-0 win over Aberdeen in the penultimate round of the Scottish Premiership.

After a goalless first half, Barry Ferguson's side broke the deadlock in the 55th minute through Vaclav Cerny. Just six minutes later (61'), Cyriel Dessers—already in sensational form in recent weeks—doubled the advantage with a clinical finish. That goal marked the third consecutive game in which the Nigerian has found the back of the net. He now boasts 26 goals across all competitions this season, including 15 in the Scottish Premiership.

Hamza Igamane, who came off the bench in the second half, netted Rangers' third with a stunning volley in the 70th minute. This goal snapped a three-game scoring drought for the Moroccan and took his tally to 16 goals in 43 appearances this season. The victory was sealed in stoppage time by a goal from full-back Jefte.
