He pointed out how control of the game shifted multiple times, noting that although they regained some dominance, they failed to capitalise on a few promising chances.

Dessers acknowledged the pain of missing those opportunities, especially when the opposing team found the back of the net.

Obviously, very disappointed and also angry. Thats frustrating. I think it was a game with a few periods in which the control shifted; they started very well, very dominant, but then we took the control again. 

On the second half, we were playing in their half, pushing them back. But the creation of chances, we had a few small ones that were close; we could have done a little but better, but I think we missed on them and they scored; it’s painful,” Dessers told RangersTv

As the squad looks ahead, Cyriel Dessers and his teammates will need to regroup for their upcoming challenge against Dundee United, who also suffered a 2-0 loss to league leaders Celtic.
