Cyriel Dessers Ends Season in Style with 26 Goals for Rangers
Super Eagles forward, Cyriel Dessers, wrapped up a sensational season for Rangers FC with a goal in their final league game—a 2-2 draw against Hibernian on Saturday. The 29-year-old wasted no time, netting just two minutes into the match to set the tone for an end-to-end affair.
This latest strike marked his fifth goal in five consecutive league games, showcasing the kind of form any striker dreams of heading into the off-season.
🔥 Season Stats Worth Celebrating:
🥅 18 goals in 35 Scottish Premiership matches
⚽ 26 goals + 5 assists in 53 appearances across all competitions
🎯 Finished as Rangers' top scorer for the season
Dessers has silenced critics and proven his mettle in European football, especially after initial doubts upon his arrival. His ability to adapt, hold up play, and deliver crucial goals under pressure played a pivotal role in Rangers’ second-place finish, securing a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League.
🗣️ Opinion: The Nigerian Striker That Just Keeps Giving
From Eredivisie to Serie A and now making waves in Scotland, Dessers continues to rise through persistence, passion, and purpose. Many doubted whether he could become a main man at Ibrox, but he answered in the best way possible—with goals.
His fine form should not go unnoticed by the Super Eagles coaching crew as Nigeria builds toward upcoming international fixtures and tournaments. A clinical, in-form Dessers could be key to Nigeria’s attacking depth, especially with his European experience and ability to perform on big stages.
As Rangers look ahead to a busy summer and Champions League nights, Dessers’ hot streak gives fans hope that the club’s golden days may soon return.
