It probably won’t surprise you to know that I don’t use social media. Let’s just say it’s probably safer that way for all parties.
But I am aware that it exists and I’ve got plenty of mates who keep me up to date with what’s being said on it. So I had a wee smile to myself yesterday when one of them told me about the new nickname some Rangers fans have given to Cyriel Dessers, following his goal against Hibs at Easter Road on Wednesday night.
After months of wondering if the big man is ever going to cut it as a centre forward at Ibrox they’re now calling him CD9. OK, there’s a bit of tongue in cheek about it.
I don’t think anyone is seriously comparing Dessers with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo all of a sudden, the original CR7. But I’m on board with it anyway because I believe it shows there’s a lot of affection and good will out there for a guy who looks to me as if he’s desperate to prove himself as a Rangers striker.
