Cyriel Dessers, the Nigerian striker for Rangers, has expressed his excitement about working under the guidance of Rangers’ interim manager, Barry Ferguson. Dessers scored twice in Rangers’ dramatic comeback victory over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, a performance that delighted both him and the club’s supporters.
Speaking about his admiration for Ferguson, Dessers shared his respect for the Rangers legend’s illustrious career. “I’ve seen him (Ferguson) in the Hall of Fame, obviously,” Dessers remarked. “I know what he did for the club—five league titles, five Scottish Cups, all these things—so that speaks for itself.” The striker acknowledged the weight of Ferguson’s legacy at the club, highlighting his role as a key figure in Rangers’ success over the years.
Ferguson, who is widely regarded as one of Rangers’ all-time greats, has a storied history with the club, and his achievements as a player are well-known among fans. “He’s a big name at this club, a big personality, and it’s good that he’s around now,” Dessers added, showing his enthusiasm for working with such a high-profile figure. Ferguson’s deep knowledge of the club and its culture is seen as a valuable asset as he takes charge during a critical time in the season.
Ferguson was appointed as interim manager earlier this week after the dismissal of Philippe Clement, and he made a winning start to his managerial tenure. Rangers mounted an impressive comeback, rallying from two goals down to beat Kilmarnock 4-2 in a thrilling match at Rugby Park on Wednesday night.
For Dessers, the opportunity to learn from someone of Ferguson’s caliber is a unique experience. As a striker, Dessers will likely benefit from Ferguson’s wealth of knowledge on the game, both in terms of tactical understanding and his first-hand experience in high-pressure situations.
Rangers fans will be hoping that Ferguson can help steer the team towards greater success as the season progresses, and Dessers’ continued form will be crucial in their efforts to achieve their goals. With Ferguson at the helm, there is a sense of optimism around the club, and Dessers’ enthusiasm is a sign of the positive energy surrounding the team.
