Cyriel Dessers sulked down the tunnel on Thursday after taking a rogue finger nail to the eye. But the stroppy striker was in better mood on Sunday as he was at last able to thumb a nose at his Ibrox critics.

The Rangers hitman was forced to say sorry to boss Philippe Clement after his remarkable meltdown during this week’s Europa League hammering of Steaua Bucharest.

He effectively substituting himself off against the Romanians after claiming he’d suffered a loss of vision during an off-the-ball tussle with defender Mihai Popescu.

But three days on, it was Dessers who ensured Rangers and their faint title aspirations haven’t been left seeing stars after he climbed off the bench to set up Vaclav Cerny’s crucial winner in the 2-1 triumph over St Mirren.
