“Lucky” – Cyriel Dessers reflects on club career with Rangers and Feyenoord

“That is something I like. Some like a fashionable or stately club, I like clubs where it is very pure and passionate. That is really reflected in these three clubs.

“I also know if you don't perform, it's extra tough, but when it goes well, they are the most beautiful clubs in the world,” the Super Eagles striker said in quotes revealed by Herald Scotland.

“So I am lucky that I have been able to play for three of those clubs that are also truly exceptional in that respect.

“At Rangers, Feyenoord and NAC Breda, my friends and family who come to visit all say: ‘wow, this was not normal and I didn't expect it'. I think that is something very special and I am proud of it,” the Belgium-born Nigerian concluded.

Dessers helped Rangers to a quarter-final berth against Athletic Bilbao in the UEFA Europa League before Barry Ferguson's side bowed out at the San Mames in the second leg of the tie after playing a goalless draw at Ibrox.

Bilbao face Manchester United in the Europa League semi-final this evening. Dessers scored against Manchester United during the competition's group phase earlier this campaign.
