It's time to have a chat about Cyriel Dessers. Let’s be honest, if any other striker in Europe had scored that goal against Real Betis on Thursday night the whole world would be raving about it.
But, because it was Dessers, there’s a lingering suspicion that it almost happened by accident. Well I for one I’m thrilled for the big man because I’ve really felt for him over these last six months as he’s struggled to adjust to the responsibility of life as the Rangers No.9.
And I’m hoping this is the moment that kickstarts his Ibrox career. Dessers is far from the first player to have been caught by surprise by the pressures involved in wearing that shirt.
I know because I have seen it with my own eyes. You might think you know all about Rangers before you sign for the club but it’s only when you walk through those front doors for the first time that it really begins to hit home.
