Dessers keen to impress at Rangers despite fans abuse

Cyriel Dessers is determined to make huge impact at Scottish Premiership club Glasgow Rangers despite criticisms from the fans.

Dessers linked up with the Gers from Italian club Cremonese this summer.

The Nigeria international has however failed to win over the fans despite his huge reputation.

The 28-year-old claimed criticisms over his performance is unfair as he has done his best for the club.

“Some reactions even make me laugh. First of all, I think many people underestimate what it is like to move to another country,” Dessers told the Daily Record.

“My stats this season are not bad, but I don’t think it is great either. Before the season, I set a goal of 25 goal contributions, so I’m on target in that regard.”

The striker however admitted that he is yet to hit top form and is working hard to improve on his performance.

“I have not yet reached my absolute top form, and that’s something I work hard for every day. In terms of general level, the Belgian and Dutch competitions are also better than the Scottish and of course Serie A is a different level, but there are hardly any easy matches here,” he added.

Dessers has scored three goals in 10 league appearances for the Light Blues.

Hw is expected to be in action when Rangers take on Hearts on Sunday (today).
