Alfredo Morelos' 'amazing' Rangers legacy saluted by Cyriel Dessers as successor delivers promise

Confident Cyriel Dessers promised Rangers fans he'll pick up the baton from Alfredo Morelos and become the next Ibrox goal hero.

New signing Dessers joins Sam Lammers and Abdallah Sima in a refreshed forward line that Michael Beale hopes can fire his team to title glory next season. With Morelos and Ryan Kent leaving, things will look very different in the final third and Dessers is hoping he can be the man that becomes their next goalscoring talisman.

Dessers, who fired ten goals for a struggling Cremonese side last season, isn't looking to the past but he does feel the pressure of stepping into the shoes of a man who scored 124 goals in 269 games for the club. He said: "Of course Alfredo did amazing things for Rangers and at Ibrox so it's never easy so it's never easy to follow a good striker like he was. But on the other side, I can't look at the past.

"I'm only here for the present and the future. I hope to do some good things for Rangers and build a similar relationship with the fans but that will depend on our relationship and the things I do on the pitch and off the pitch. I'm confident that will work."
