Striker reflects on dramatic victory after scoring pivotal goal
Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers expressed his immense pride following his late winner against Celtic in what has been described as a historic moment for the club. The match, which took place in the highly anticipated Old Firm derby, saw Dessers net a crucial goal in the dying moments of the game, securing a dramatic 2-1 victory for Rangers over their fierce rivals.
After a tense 90 minutes filled with end-to-end action, it was Dessers’ composed finish that sent the Ibrox faithful into raptures. His strike not only handed Rangers all three points but also marked a significant achievement for the club as they continued their pursuit of the Scottish Premiership title.
“I’m incredibly proud to have scored the winner in such an important game,” Dessers said post-match. “This is what football is all about — moments like these, where everything you’ve worked for comes to fruition. To score in a game like this, against Celtic, in front of our incredible fans — it’s a feeling I’ll never forget.”
The Nigerian international, who has been in fine form since joining Rangers, has quickly become a key figure in their attack. Dessers’ late goal was his fourth in the league this season, and his overall contributions have been vital to Rangers’ ambitions both domestically and in Europe.
Rangers manager Michael Beale was full of praise for Dessers’ performance, highlighting the striker’s composure in the crucial moments. “Cyriel is a fantastic player, and tonight he showed exactly why we brought him to the club,” Beale said. “He’s got that calmness under pressure that makes him a real asset, and we’re lucky to have him.”
The victory over Celtic has not only given Rangers a much-needed boost in the league standings but has also reignited their hopes of challenging for the Scottish Premiership title. With Dessers’ confidence growing and the team showing resilience in big moments, the future looks bright for the Glasgow giants.
As Dessers reflects on his historic contribution, he remains focused on what lies ahead. “This is just one step. We have to keep pushing forward and keep improving as a team,” he added. “We have a long way to go, and we’re hungry for more success.”
The late winner has added yet another memorable chapter to the fierce rivalry between Rangers and Celtic, and for Dessers, it’s a moment he will forever cherish as he continues his journey at the club.
