Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers delivered a stunning performance in their 2-1 Europa League victory over Union Saint-Gilloise, proving his critics wrong in emphatic fashion.
A Night to Remember for Dessers
For a player who has faced constant scrutiny since his arrival at Ibrox, Cyriel Dessers showcased his best performance yet on the European stage. The Nigerian international was instrumental in Rangers’ triumph, displaying clinical precision, relentless energy, and a touch of vengeance against Belgian opposition.
His standout moment came when he outmuscled Ross Sykes, showcasing his strength and agility before setting up Vaclav Cerny’s crucial goal. Dessers’ influence was undeniable, as he consistently troubled the USG defense throughout the match, earning high praise from both Rangers supporters and Belgian media.

Rangers March On to the Knockout Stage
The victory not only secured Rangers’ progression to the Europa League knockout rounds but also reasserted their presence among Europe’s elite. Dessers’ resurgence comes at a crucial time, as the Scottish giants continue their pursuit of silverware both domestically and in Europe.
