‘Unforgivable’ – Bill Leckie moots the end of Rangers career for player after what happened.
Bill Leckie has mooted the end of Cyriel Dessers’ Rangers career after what he did against Celtic on Sunday.
The Scottish League Cup final ended 3-3 after 120 minutes, requiring penalties for the Hoops to win.
Despite Jack Butland’s offer, Dessers did not take any of the five spot kicks, resulting in a 5-4 shootout victory.
Leckie, a Scottish Sun journalist, commented on December 16: “It was as unbelievable as it is unforgivable.”
“We’re talking about a centre-forward being on the field for a cup final shootout but leaving the fifth kick to his goalkeeper.
“Even at the end of a fight as unbelievable as this one, you’d believe it was a plot twist gone too far.
“But that’s what Cyriel Dessers did when the chips were down here. And I can’t see how his Rangers career will recover from this.
“Why else would a manager bring his No. 9 off the bench in extra time, if not to win the game?”

“What else is he there for but to put the ball in the net?”
Cyriel Dessers has pushed Rangers fans further away.
Dessers has been a source of concern for Gers fans due to his uneven performance since joining the club.
A January move could be on the cards, as both parties may decide to split ways, especially if this episode further isolates him from the fans.
