He has Rangers superpowers and 'delusional' Cyriel Dessers is about to turn fantasy into reality again – Scott Arfield

Ianis Hagi was the last action hero at Pittodrie - but it could and really should have been Cyriel Dessers riding to Rangers’ rescue.

It’s clutch moments like the one that came right before the dramatic equaliser against Jimmy Thelin’s dazed Dons which make the Ibrox frontman such a divisive figure among fans.

Clean through on the keeper in the final minute with the chance to snatch a point for his team - those are the instances when you need to have ice in the veins and a clear mind.

The Nigerian strikes a nice ball at times but the missed chances are why fans are split on his place in the team.

There are times when the Nigerian resorts to power when a more refined touch is required.

And against Aberdeen you saw the result. With 96 minutes on the clock and only Ross Doohan to beat, he simply had to score.

Instead, Dessers slams against the post and for a horrid moment Barry Ferguson must have thought that was it for his patchwork line-up.

It took Hagi to show him how it’s done as he swept home with a classy finish to get Dessers off the hook.

And yet while that hurried miss very nearly cost Rangers at the weekend, I still think he’s the man to lead the line in Bilbao tomorrow night as Rangers take a swing at reaching the Europa League’s last four.

I argued last week in these pages that Barry should stick by Jack Butland in goal. The manager saw it differently and fair play, it proved to be the right decision with Liam Kelly making a vital penalty stop to ensure Rangers head to Spain with all to play for after a goalless opener.

Barry made a big alteration last week with his team selection but I don’t think he needs to make another this time.

Kelly has been criticised for letting Leighton Clarkson’s free-kick slip by him
