Rangers FC endured their second preseason defeat in a row, falling to Manchester United at Murrayfield Stadium, as reported by Soccernet.ng.
Super Eagles star Cyriel Dessers started the clash for Philippe Clement’s squad but failed to score in his 76 minutes of action, much to the disappointment of the Scottish fans in attendance.
This marks the former US Cremonese striker’s fourth consecutive appearance without a goal for the Glasgow-based club since his strike in Rangers’ 5-2 victory against Dundee FC.

During the game, Ivory Coast forward Amad Diallo capitalized on a clever pass from Mason Mount, firing the ball into the bottom left corner of Jack Butland’s goal.

Another player of Nigerian descent who shone was Habeeb Ogunneye, making an impressive appearance for Erik Ten Hag’s side during his 45 minutes on the pitch.
Looking Ahead
Meanwhile, Dessers will be eager to end his goal drought as Rangers continue their preseason tour, with a match against Birmingham City up next.
