Super Eagles and Rangers striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, hit a milestone in the Old Firm derby at the Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow this afternoon, Soccernet.ng reports.
The 30-year-old has always been bashed for his inconsistency in front of goal since he joined the club in 2023, but he's proven the doubters wrong, again, hitting thirty goal contributions in two successive campaigns.
In his first season with The Gers, Dessers scored 22 goals and provided seven assists in 54 games under Philippe Clement. This season, he's scored 25 goals and provided six assists.
