Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers has been declared fit for Rangers' crucial UEFA Champions League playoff tie against Raphael Onyedika's Club Brugge.

Dessers, 31, has missed the Gers' last three games across all competitions due to an ankle injury.

However, the Super Eagles striker is expected to return to action when Club Brugge host the Scottish giants at the Jan Breydel Stadium, Bruges, later tonight (Wednesday, August 27).

Rangers face a daunting prospect of overturning a two-goal deficit, having lost the first leg 3-1 at home.

Speaking ahead of the encounter, Rangers boss Russell Martin disclosed that the former Cremonese striker will be available for selection.

“Dessers is here and good to go back in the squad,” Martin said in a pre-match press conference.

Dessers has also been named in the provisional 31-man squad for Nigeria's World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa.
