Rangers secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Ross County at the Global Energy Stadium on Sunday, thanks Super Eagles star Cyriel Dessers, who contributed a goal to seal the deal.
Despite starting from the bench, the Nigerian forward delivered a decisive assist late in the game, and his 2-touch brilliance sealed vital three points for his side, Footballrover reports.
A flying start for Rangers
The Gers wasted no time asserting dominance as Moroccan striker Hamza Igamane struck in the sixth minute, continuing his remarkable form with a fourth goal in as many games.
The visitors doubled their advantage in the 37th minute when Brazilian forward Danilo capitalised on a blunder by Staggies goalkeeper Jack Hamilton, whose delayed clearance proved costly.
Dessers’ game-changing cameo
Cyriel Dessers entered the match in the 80th minute, replacing the in-form Igamane.
Despite limited minutes, he made an immediate impact. Just six minutes later, the Super Eagles star set up James Tavernier’s powerful 86th-minute strike with a pinpoint pass to wrap up things for his team.
With only two touches during his brief spell on the pitch, Cyriel proved his efficiency and skill, also winning his only aerial duel.
What the win means for Rangers
This crucial win narrowed Rangers’ gap to second-placed Aberdeen to just two points, with a game in hand.
However, the Gers remain 11 points behind fierce rivals Celtic in the title race as they continue to push for the top.
Dessers’ season so far
The 30-year-old forward has now made 19 appearances for his team across all competitions, including 14 starts.
With seven goals and two assists to his name, Cyriel is proving to be an invaluable asset to attacking lineup of the Scottish side.
His recent performances highlight his ability to make decisive contributions even in limited game time.
