The Rangers question Cyriel Dessers has yet to answer as SPFL rivals’ ‘real deal’ verdict sparks studio debate

Cyriel Dessers has been labeled the real deal by an SPFL rival but Kenny Miller has told him the way to get ALL Rangers fans on his side and questions are still being asked despite scoring 20 goals.

The Ibrox hitman scored the crucial winning goal at St Mirren as he headed into an empty net to reach his milestone of the season and, in the process, earn the Light Blues three big away points in the title race. the Scottish Premiership with Celtic. Brendan Rodgers’ men claimed a 2-1 away win at Dundee to remain three points and five goals clear at the top with just four league games remaining, including a huge derby at Parkhead.

Dessers arrived at the club last summer as part of former boss Michael Beale’s massive rebuild. Steven Gerrard’s former number 2 did not last long after a poor start to the campaign with Philippe Clement taking over the top job. Danilo’s injuries and Kemar Roofe’s ongoing fitness problems for most of the campaign have seen the Nigerian international constantly called up. Dundee United star Tony Watt is a fan of the hitman and reckons he has had an excellent debut campaign in Glasgow.

Former Ibrox hitman Miller agrees with Watt about his goal return but believes there is much more to come. He is often criticized for the number of chances he wastes despite his healthy tally in front of goal and fans still question the number 9. Expert Miller believes he has yet to prove it but has told him how he can do it and get all the followers on side.

Speaking on the Scottish Football Podcast, Watt said: “I think it’s been a difficult season for him in terms of getting going. I think he and Danilo had been in and out and couldn’t get going, but since Clement arrived, He’s been brilliant, I’ve heard a lot of them say in the comments, I don’t know if it was Kenny (Miller) or Kris Boyd that he missed too many chances and I’ve never noticed it before but for me, if a striker gets every chance, it’s one. telltale sign that you are doing the right thing.

“He has eliminated them in the last two games and in the important games. I think he has had a very good season if we take away the first half. Now he is gaining pace and scoring a lot of goals. That is a huge goal. It was a complicated game. St Mirren are difficult to knock down and beat. (James) Tavernier puts it in his head to be fair and he couldn’t fail, but for me it looks like a real goal. “I can reply that next season they will do well.”

Miller added: “It’s absolutely made the difference. Two goals last week to send your team to the final and then score a really important goal after Rangers haven’t been very good in the league. They hadn’t won a game in league”. in three and only one win in five and they needed to win that game today and he showed up with the great goal for his twentieth of the season.

“The thing about him is that I would have loved to score 20 goals this season, but he was expected to contribute much more to the game and the overall preparation. If I get 20, my great partner will get 30. I think some of the criticism has been harsh against him.
