By Daniel Ojukwu

Rangers Football Club of Scotland manager, Michael Beale, has showered praises on Cyriel Dessers after the forward played a crucial role in the side’s 2-2 draw against PSV Eindhoven on night of Tuesday, 22 August 2023.

Recall that the Super Eagles of Nigeria player has come under intense criticism since his arrival at Ibrox from Italian club, Cremonese.

Dessers, however put up a scintillating display against the Eredivisie champions in the UEFA Champions League playoff round contest.

The 28-year-old set up Rabbi Matondo for the Light Blues second goal.

Beale heaped plaudits on the striker for his overall contribution in the game.

“It is a new team, and we have got new players. I thought Cyriel Dessers was excellent. He backed into the centre halves, but he got us up the pitch. At times I would like people to get closer to him,” he  told Rangers TV.
“He gets an assist for the first goal, it is a wonderful finish from Abdallah, that’s what he can bring. He is a number nine who can play wide on the right, or wide on the left. He can run, he is strong, he is good in the air and that was a wonderful goal from him,” the gaffer added.
