Super Eagles and Rangers striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, expressed his disappointment after his side failed to secure maximum points against Celtic in a heated Old Firm derby at the Ibrox Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The high-stakes encounter, which had significant implications for the Scottish Premiership title race, ended in a tense stalemate. Despite an intense and spirited performance from both sides, neither team could find the winning goal to edge ahead in the league standings. Dessers, who started the game and was instrumental in Rangers’ attacking plays, lamented the missed opportunity to claim all three points at home.
“We wanted the win badly, especially at Ibrox, in front of our fans,” Dessers told reporters after the game. “It’s frustrating not to get the result we deserved. We created chances, fought hard, and controlled parts of the game, but just couldn’t finish it off.”
The Nigerian international’s work rate and movement kept Celtic’s defense on edge throughout the match. While he didn’t get on the scoresheet, his presence was felt, and he played a crucial role in building up several attacking moves for Rangers.
The result leaves the title race finely balanced as the season heads into its final stages. Rangers had hoped to leapfrog Celtic with a win, but now both teams remain neck-and-neck at the top of the table.
“We need to stay focused and keep pushing,” Dessers added. “There are still games to play, and we believe in ourselves. It’s not over yet.”
With only a handful of fixtures remaining, Rangers and Dessers will be aiming to return to winning ways quickly as they continue their pursuit of the Scottish Premiership crown.
