Leon Balogun Hails Cyriel Dessers After Another Match-Winning Goal for Rangers
Rangers defender Leon Balogun has lauded his Nigerian compatriot, Cyriel Dessers, after the striker’s decisive goal helped secure a 1-0 win for the Light Blues over Hearts on Sunday.
Dessers’ goal, his third in as many games, continued his impressive form for Philippe Clement’s side. The 29-year-old has been pivotal in recent matches, having also scored the winning goal in Rangers' 1-0 victory over Motherwell last weekend, as well as finding the net in the UEFA Europa League draw with Olympiacos last Thursday.
Balogun, speaking to Rangers TV, expressed his admiration for Dessers and emphasized how crucial the striker is for the team. He also encouraged Dessers to continue to push for more success.
“We need Cyriel up there,” Balogun said. “I wish sometimes that he would reward himself more. Everyone would benefit from that. He is really trying, and I am pleased for him to score three goals on the bounce. It is good for his confidence and hopefully, he picks up even more.”
