Philippe Clement could drop Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers
Sat 2 March 2024 15:45, UK
Rangers have been woeful for large parts of the first half against Motherwell at Ibrox on Saturday, 2 March.
After conceding an early goal, while they have kept the ball well, they’ve failed to be menacing in the final third.
Cyriel Dessers is the main reason for that and Philippe Clement could drop him at the half-time break.
Despite scoring four goals in his last four games, the Nigeria international seems to be off the pace.
Dessers struggles at Ibrox
At the start of the game, he was seen having a go at Ross McCausland which is baffling as it wasn’t his fault.
The three chances that fell to the striker, he made a hash of, putting two off target as well.
He’s even struggled to get involved in the build up play, completing only five passes all half, according to Sofascore.
Despite Gers being at home and dominating the ball, it’s highly unacceptable and Fabio Silva may be brought off in the second period.

Three points are key for Rangers
A win is paramount for Gers it solidifies their position at the top of the Scottish Premiership table, increasing their chances of clinching the title.
The three points will not only boost their confidence but also put pressure on Celtic to keep up.
Additionally, maintaining a lead over their rivals sends a strong message to their competitors and reaffirms their dominance in Scottish football.
It also enhances their chances of qualifying for European competitions, which are essential for the club’s financial stability and reputation.
They are overwhelming favourites at all games played at Ibrox and they’ve not really done much here with all the possession so things need to change.
