In-form Cyriel Dessers heralds Rangers comeback in 3-1 win over Dundee United

Super Eagles and Rangers striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, continued his rich vein of form by finding the back of the net in his side’s 3-1 win over Dundee United, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 30-year-old has been under fire over the past month, and lost his place in the Gers starting lineup. However, his form over the past week has been blistering.

He was drafted into the Rangers attack, partnering with Hamza Igamane upfront. However, it was the home side that took the lead inside twenty minutes. English forward, Sam Dalby, pounced on a blocked shot from Vicko Selvej to put the ball past Jack Butland.

Rangers drew level six minutes past the hour mark. Ivorian midfielder, Mohamed Diomande, received a pass from James Tarvenier, dribbled past his man, before whipping his short into the bottom left corner to put the Gers level.

Dutch defender, Robin Propper, put Rangers up just four minutes after the restart. The 30-year-old latched his left foot onto a brilliant cross from Ianis Hagi, putting the ball into the back of Jack Walton’s goal.

Super Eagles striker, Cyriel Dessers, completed the route, after he initially had a goal ruled out for offside. A brilliant ball from Diomande set Zak Lovelace on the run into Dundee’s box. The teenager was unselfish and passed the ball to Dessers who shot the ball into the top corner from an acute angle to score his 5th goal in three games.

In additional time, Diomande was given his marching orders after an altercation with a Dundee United player. Nonetheless, Rangers have now won five of their last eight games, and are within 10 points of league leaders, Celtic.

Dessers’ timely form might cause Philippe Clement’s side to rethink their transfer stance on the Super Eagles forward.
