Rangers hero spots sign 'frustrated' Dessers is feeling the heat but he challenges Danilo to turn UP the pressure

Cyriel Dessers walked wearily back to the Ibrox bench last week looking like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. But Billy Dodds reckons the Rangers hitman should be relieved that he’ll soon have a rival back helping to share the goalscoring burden.
