Cyriel Dessers was on target in Rangers’ 2-1 defeat to Motherwell at the Ibrox on Saturday.
Luke Armstrong gave Motherwell the lead after nine minutes following an error by Rangers goalkeeper Jack Butland.
Another poor defending allowed Tom Sparrow to fire home a second on the half hour mark.
Dessers reduced the arrears early in the second half with a fine finish after Ridvan Yilmaz’s quick ball over the top.
The forward was denied a second few minutes later after he was flagged offside.

Oh wow. What a goal from Cyriel Dessers. This guy is really in the form of his life and at the right time when the Super Eagles need reliable strikers.
It will be embarrassing if Dessers does not represent Nigeria this month.
Our three reliable strikers at this moment are,
No1. Oshimen
No2. Cyriel Dessers
No3. Arokodare.
For me personally, if Dessers and Arokodare don’t make the final list, then Eric Chelle should be questioned why kę.
Boniface and other strikers can come in later but for now, Arokodare and Dessers deserve to be the Super Eagles.
For me to believe that Chelle is in charge of the World Cup qualifiers list, I’m expecting to see Dessers, Arokodare, Akpom and Orban on the final list. Hmm. Fingers crossed. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
