Nigerian striker Cyriel Dessers delivered the decisive goal in Rangers’ 1-0 victory over Hearts on Sunday, securing three crucial points in the Scottish Premiership. Despite his recent omission from Nigeria’s national team for the final two qualifiers of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Dessers showed no signs of low morale, stepping up to lead his club with a clinical finish.
The 29-year-old’s strike, his fourth in the Premiership this season, came at a critical moment, ensuring Rangers maintained momentum in their league campaign.
Dessers has now tallied nine goals across all competitions since joining Rangers, underscoring his value to the Scottish side as they contend for domestic success.
Throughout the match, Rangers struggled to break down a resilient Hearts defense. However, Dessers proved to be the difference, finding the back of the net to seal the win.
His goal further solidifies his role as a key figure in Rangers’ attacking lineup, and his impressive performance under pressure has not gone unnoticed by the club’s supporters.
Dessers’ omission from the Nigerian squad may have sparked disappointment, yet his form on the pitch demonstrates his commitment to performing at the highest level.
His contributions are seen as instrumental to Rangers’ success, particularly as they navigate both league fixtures and domestic cup competitions.
With this latest goal, Dessers remains a pivotal part of Rangers’ pursuit of the Scottish Premiership title, and his focus on club achievements continues to drive his performances.
As the season progresses, he will likely look to build on this form, pushing his team closer to their ambitions in both the league and European competitions.
