Rangers manager, Philippe Clement has reiterated his support for Cyriel Dessers despite criticism from the club’s supporters and pundits.

Dessers has been criticised for missing clear cut goal scoring chances since his arrival at the club.

The 29-year-old has, however, scored regularly for the Light Blues despite his shortcomings.

The Nigerian was the Light Blues top scorer last season.

The striker has so far registered nine goals and three assists in 19 appearances across all competitions for the club this season.

“He gets a lot of criticism about his missed chances. But maybe other strikers in the league get much less criticism, although they miss more chances and score less goals,” Clement told Premier Sports.

“That’s something that’s been going on, but the most important thing is that he’s not living that life and he’s just giving his best every time for the team. And he’s scored a lot of goals also.”
