Cyriel Dessers Nominated for Rangers’ Player of the Month Award After Stellar March Performances
Super Eagles forward Cyriel Dessers is enjoying a red-hot run of form in Scotland, and now he's being duly recognized. The Nigerian striker has been nominated for Rangers’ Player of the Month award for March, following a series of impressive displays for the Glasgow giants.
According to TalkTalk Nigeria , Dessers bagged two crucial goals during the month, including a standout performance in Rangers’ UEFA Europa League triumph over Fenerbahce, where he contributed a goal and an assist. He then followed that up by scoring the winning goal in a thrilling 4-3 league victory over Dundee, showing his knack for delivering when it matters most.
A Key Figure in Rangers' Title Chase
At 30, Dessers has become a pillar in the Rangers attack. With 22 goals and 7 assists in 45 games across all competitions, his impact is impossible to ignore. Whether it's on European nights or domestic clashes, he’s consistently stepped up — and his March form only further cements his importance in Rangers’ title and continental ambitions.
Facing Stiff Competition
Of course, the race for Player of the Month won’t be a walk in the park. Dessers is up against fellow top performers like Nico Raskin, Mohamed Diomande, Vaclav Cerny, and John Souttar — all of whom have had their moments during the month.
But the Nigerian’s ability to combine goalscoring prowess with playmaking contributions may just give him the edge.
Opinion: Dessers Deserves It
While others in the squad have been solid, Dessers has been sensational. Beyond just the goals, his link-up play, work rate, and leadership on the pitch have been vital for Rangers' momentum in both league and European campaigns.
If the award were based on impact alone, Dessers’ game-winning moments and consistency in March make him a standout candidate.
Here’s hoping Rangers’ fans and coaching staff agree — because the Nigerian forward is not just in form, he’s flying high.
