Can Rangers afford to let ‘brilliant’ Dessers go?

The intriguing Cyriel Dessers case is still a source of suspense.

In the emphatic 3-0 Champions League qualifying first-leg win over Viktoria Plzen on Tuesday, the Rangers striker made his announcement under Russell Martin’s supervision.

He has repeatedly been let down by Rangers. Perhaps this served as a reminder of what he has to offer and how he might be useful in a different play format at Ibrox.

His quick deliberation just before half-time demonstrated the value of his experience and his ability to deliver the penalty that was awarded for the second, after a protracted delay just before half-time.

In his Rangers career, he has a lot of that experience.

More importantly, he appeared to be Rangers’ top priority, bringing together their attacking threat.

Dessers’ start to this campaign has been hampered by a minor injury, but his head coach, who had started as a substitute for Motherwell, was applauded for his effort while criticizing others.

He seized his opportunity by taking advantage of his opportunity and built on that against Plzen by replacing the ineffective Danilo.

This comes after a summer of speculating about his future.

Dessers is the only player the club has bid for this season, according to Martin’s confirmation over the weekend, and based on the evidence from this performance, interest may not end there.

Martin described his performance as “amazing” and “brilliant,” which suggests he sees value in keeping him at Ibrox.

He said, “I thought he was great tonight.”

He accepted the ball well, and the guys found him a lot in the first half, according to the team’s spokesperson from yesterday.

Since working closely with Dessers with the striker during Barry Ferguson’s interim period at the club last term, Neil McCann is well-placed to assess his worth.

With six goals in the final five games of the Premiership run-in, Dessers capped the season strong in every post-split match.

Any club would be suited to have that consistency, but the criticism stems from a perception of wastefulness in front of goal and a lapsed ability to use others.

The former Rangers winger said, “I think he makes Rangers a better side.”

Dessers must remain in the club. He poses a threat to the goal. The main character in the game of number nine is him.

He is shown that he has goals. The return that would seem almost unreachable after 89 of their seasons last year. Daizen Maeda from Celtic was the only player to win the Premiership.

In total, Dessers has scored 52 goals in 113 games for the Rangers, with 80 starts occurring every 134 minutes.

As last season demonstrated, he also has a habit of scoring big goals in big games.

In Champions League qualifying, Dynamo Kyiv scored the winner in the last minute. Another goalkeeping equalizer gave Olympiakos a point in the Europa League.

In the 88th minute, a fine leveller was made at Old Trafford against Manchester United before Bruno Fernandes’ late winner.

Then, in a superb 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce, Rangers eased their way to the quarter-finals.

One significant criticism seems to be centered on a single statistic. Conversion of a shot He frequently missed chances, in plain English.

Dessers has addressed this issue in his Rangers career on numerous occasions. Taking chances.

He reportedly said, “That’s the life of a striker,” after scoring in the 1-1 draw with Olympiakos. Whom do I as Cyriel Dessers to avoid adversity? You’re always going to have more mistakes than you can count.

“I’m unlikely to play for Rangers” if I had three chances at every game.

“You just have to keep going,” he says.

Martin is impressed, as the evidence suggests.

After Dessers’ game against Plzen, former Rangers winger Peter Lovenkrands also made an appearance.

Dessers declared to BBC Scotland, “It’ll be difficult if Dessers leaves.”

He stepped up before half-time, and he did that. Before there is a replacement, he’ll be dealt a blow if he leaves.

He has received a lot of criticism, but the team is really good for him.

Dessers turns 31 in December and has two more years left on his Ibrox contract.

Although Hamza Igamane’s future may depend on his own moves, having been linked to his replacement, it might cost a lot to replace him.

Given Rangers’ age and contract terms, this window, or the following, might be the last opportunity to receive a sizable fee.

Perhaps Dessers wanted a new start after initially feeling underappreciated?
