Cyriel Dessers, a striker for the Super Eagles, is making an impact at Rangers. The goal scorer silenced skeptics by scoring two goals against Hearts to guarantee Rangers’ spot in the Scottish Cup Final versus Celtic.
Dessers dominated Lawrence Shankland, the captain of Hearts, and finished with style. The Nigerian wasted a fantastic opportunity late in the game to score a hat-trick, but why?
The 29-year-old striker gave Rangers the lead against league leaders Celtics in the Scottish Cup final with goals in the fifth and 78th minutes.
The pre-match narratives mostly highlighted Hearts’ dismal record at Hampden against Rangers. Hearts gave out under the strain, history repeating itself despite their heroic efforts.
Macauley Tait’s breakaway run set up Rangers’ opening goal. Dessers made the most of a Cantwell assist to hammer home a strong shot following a superb save by Craig Gordon.
