Rangers fans expect Cyriel Dessers U-turn after new twist

Rangers fans are calling for Cyriel Dessers to remain at Ibrox beyond the summer transfer window after his goal against Dynamo Kyiv.

Philippe Clement’s side drew 1-1 in the first leg of their Champions League qualifying clash courtesy of a 94th-minute equaliser from the Nigerian striker.

Dessers’ inconsistency in front of goal during his first season in Glasgow led to calls for him to be sold this summer, but fans are now backtracking on their calls.

Despite having found the net 22 times in 54 games across all competitions last season, the striker proved a source of frustration as he missed several big chances.

This had led to calls for him to be sold this summer, but he expressed his desire to stay and improve at Ibrox – something the fans are now keen to let happen.

Rangers fans expect Cyriel Dessers U-turn after what he did last night

As reported by Football Insider on 22 July, fans labelled the striker “shocking”, “awful” and “one of the worst footballers” after his display v Man United in pre-season.

However, a performance in which he was unlucky not to score against Hearts followed by a crucial late equaliser against Kyiv has seen may have a change of heart.

Now, fans have flocked to social media to insist Dessers stays at Ibrox beyond this summer’s transfer window as a key part of Clement’s side.

If he's not being sold then he needs supported. Big game nights like last night show he can do it. Confidence can be an amazing attribute when its running high— Greig Guthrie (@GreigGuthrie) August 7, 2024

Is he fantastic No , but he works his socks off played all of last season with almost zero help up front . Cerny and jefte supplying him and he will score and please buy him a strike partner , I thought he was fantastic last night— KMcKRfc???????????????????????????????????? (@kevmck78) August 7, 2024

Say what you want about Dessers but he finds opportunities!! Movement is brilliant for that. Flicks it around the corner at the start and then burst to get into the box— Marvin Bartley (@dothebartman1) August 6, 2024

Honestly, I'd keep him and try and move on Danilo.

Dessers isn't good enough to be our starter but his numbers won't be easy to replace. We know what Dessers is and know nothing of Danilo other than an injury record. Replacing Danilo is more like to result in a nett positive.— What would Hank do… (@AuldBaldAaron) August 7, 2024

Knew the right idea to keep dessers on, love the big man ????????????— David (@DeErFc) August 6, 2024

Yes. He will always be a marmite player amongst our fan base though. Bearing in mind he missed 2 good chances and some would say a 3rd against hearts at the weekend.— J (@john95440) August 7, 2024

He does a lot of things wrong, and rightly gets criticism for it, but that was a great finish so also deserves praise. Big goal at an important time, and if not for their keeper, should have had at least one more.— PmacB ???????????????????????????? (@PMacBeath) August 7, 2024

Others, meanwhile, refused to budge on their original stance and still want to see him sold.

Great goal Dessers. Still want him sold and a replacement in tomorrow— James (@originaljc79) August 6, 2024

Dessers what a player ????????????
Iam more surprised he scored but tbh , I think we just deserved a draw and all to play for
Still want dessers gone and a proper striker in— colin ❤️⚽️???????????????????????????? (@ColinScunner) August 6, 2024

His slackness on the ball and terrible body language far outweigh the good moments he has delivered. We get far too hung up on moments and give the benefit of the doubt to players that have proved over months and years that they simply are not good enough.— Garry McKnight (@Gazmck17) August 7, 2024
