Rangers manager Philippe Clement has backed Cyriel Dessers despite criticism over his performance for the club.
Dessers has struggled to win over a large section of the Rangers supporters despite his impressive goal record.
The Nigeria international was the Light Blues highest goal scorer last season.
The 29- year-old has so far registered nine goals and three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions for the club this season.

The former Cremonese sriker netted the winning goal in Rangers’ 1-0 victory over Hearts on Sunday.
“He gets a lot of criticism about his missed chances. But maybe other strikers in the league get much less criticism although they miss more chances and score less goals,” Clement was quoted by Premier Sports.
“That’s something that’s been going on, but the most important thing is that he’s not living that life and he’s just giving his best every time for the team. And he’s scored a lot of goals also.
