Rangers star flips script and insists there’s “more to come” as cult status builds

Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers insists the best is yet to come as he reflected on that cheeky finish in the win over Hibs.

The 28-year-old Nigerian striker, who was born in Belgium, hasn’t been without detractors since joining Ibrox in the summer from Serie A team Cremonese.

After stuttering through his transition to Glasgow, the hitman is starting to settle in at Rangers and make good on the rumored £4.5 million that was paid for his services.

The striker scored his seventh Premiership goal of the year against Hibs, and he believes it’s only the beginning. Six of the goals have come since Philippe Clement joined the team.

Cyriel Dessers: “There’s more to come”

Speaking following the 3-0 triumph over Hibs, in which Cyriel Dessers had just sent the ball past David Marshall with one of his first touches, the hitman was in a positive frame of mind.

The striker’s fan base is becoming more and more cultic, and Dessers has told them that there is only one way to go: up.

And when asked if there is still “more to come” the striker was clear he is very much still building.

Definitely,” said Dessers. “I think am growing the last months, especially since the new gaffer came you can see it in my stats, in my performances.

“But I think there is still more to come and I hope I can show it in the next weeks and months.”

Rangers striker ”embraces” Ibrox pressure

Speaking to the media after the win, Cyriel Dessers also discussed the pressure of being a Rangers player.

The former Feyenoord striker’s attitude has been called into question due to the demands of playing for Rangers on a regular basis.

However, as the striker gets used to living in the Glasgow gold fish bowl, he has fully embraced the pressure instead of fighting it.

“You have to appreciate it. I played at other clubs where it doesn’t matter that much when you draw a game or when you lose a game, but you don’t want that actually.

“You want the pressure, you want the people who are committed to the club, who care about the club. So actually I like it and I think we should embrace it, all of us.”

With 32 games played, Cyriel Dessers has 11 goals and 7 assists for the Rangers thus far.
