As per Ibrox News, Rangers new owners, 49ers, are keen on a a squad overhaul and their new sporting director, considers selling Dessers as a no-brainer decision.

“[Dessers] misses too many chances in big moments and big matches. He’s capable of some outrageous finishes. In an ideal world for Rangers, you’d probably keep him, and he’s a good option to have, but I’m not sure that’s the situation that Rangers are in just now.

“Can they afford to turn down decent money for a player who can be so frustratingly hit and miss? I think that becomes difficult for Rangers to turn down,” the journalist told Hotline Live.
