In spite of criticisms from his own fans during Rangers’ recent match against Livingston, Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers has received backing from head coach, Michael Beale.

Dessers, who was signed for £4.5 million from Cremonese, struggled to make an impact in the game, failing to score and even providing an opportunity for the opponents to score.

The frustration of the Ibrox crowd was evident as they expressed their dissatisfaction with the Forward’s performance.

He was eventually substituted by Beale with Rangers leading 1-0. The team later secured a comfortable victory with goals from Danilo, Abdellah Sima, and Kieran Dowell.

“You can see that Cyriel has come off not having a pre-season. And he missed the last two months of last season as well through injury.

“He scored in midweek and was heavily involved in our first goal today. Listen, we want a lot from these players,” Beale said after last weekenmd’s game.

“But his goal against Servette will do him the world of good and we’re still tinkering things up front. Cyriel will be fine here.”
