Motherwell legend Stephen Craigan has criticized Super Eagles striker despite scoring the winning goal to help his side win 1-0 against Motherwell at Ibrox on Sunday. , Soccernet.ng reported that he was unimpressed with Cyriel Dessers’ performance for Rangers.
The 28-year-old joined the 55-time Scottish champions this summer with high expectations after two productive years with Feyernud and Cremonese.
However, the Nigeria international did not get off to a good start at Ibrox and his first five matches in the Premiership were vacant.
Dessers has been heavily criticized by fans and pundits for an uninspiring start to his career at Ibrox Stadium.
Rangers manager Michael Beale ruled the player out of the league’s trip to St Johnstone after the international break and played just three minutes in Thursday’s 1-0 Europa League win over Real Betis. could not.
Yesterday he was called up to the starting line-up as fellow summer signing Danilo missed the game.
However, Dessers was rewarded with the only goal of the match in the 24th minute, helping Rangers stay closer to defending champions and fiercest rivals Celtic at the top of the league table.
After the match, Craigan said Dessars had not lived up to expectations and had done nothing great to rate him higher than Canadian striker Theo Baer, who was also scouted by Motherwell in the summer transfer window. I believe not, but so far it’s hard to make changes in the clubs I’ve tried.
He said: 20 You can’t get someone who guarantees you a goal. Rangers can’t sign a centre-forward who guarantees him 20 goals. I mean, was there a difference between Theo Baer and Cyriel Dessers this afternoon other than the goals? Craggan was quoted in the Daily Record
It’s such a budget and if Rangers can’t get it by spending £3m then Motherwell can’t get it by signing someone on a free transfer from St Johnstone.
Dessers will be hoping to make a further positive impact on Rangers when they host Livingston at Ibrox Stadium in Wednesday’s Scottish Cup quarter-final.
The 28-year-old has scored three goals and provided one assist in all competitions for the 55-time Scottish champions since joining the club in the summer.
