Rangers youngster quits football to pursue fashion business

Rangers star Cyriel Dessers was immense in the 3-1 win over Fenerbahce on Thursday.

The 30-year-old constantly harassed Jose Mourinho‘s side and that relentless work rate led to a goal and an assist for the Nigerian.

The Gers star could have had two more in Turkiye, had he slightly held his runs with VAR intervening to deny him twice.

He will fancy his chance of repeating that performance and sending Barry Ferguson’s side to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, with injuries now hitting Mourinho

Rangers get injury boost before Fenerbahce clash

Experienced defender Caglar Soyuncu was forced off in the 16th minute of the first leg with a muscle injury after an attempted goal line clearance.

The Nigeria international has notched 10 goals in his last 11 matches after staying in Govan despite heavy speculation about an exit in the winter transfer window.

The former Cremonense striker was linked with moves to Italy or Spain but nothing materialised and he has put his head down and worked hard for the Light Blues.

The decision to keep the veteran looks like a great decision, especially after his display in Turkiye on Thursday, and he will be keen to replicate that in the return fixture.

He has every chance to do that given the update on Soyuncu’s fitness and will be a vital asset if the Gers reach the next round of the Europa League.

If he can fire the Auchenhowie outfit to the final and potentially score the goals that win them the competition, there will be a considerable amount of suitors and the Bears will surely have to think about his future.

Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show (7 March), the Scotsman said: “I think he needs to show he’s a worthy Rangers number one. He can’t take that position for granted.
