Dessers saw Dynamo's keeper roaring at his defender at full-time and reckons Rangers are in their heads
Cyriel Dessers didn’t just plunge a dagger into Dynamo Kyiv’s heart with his last-gasp Champions League goal.
“But if you saw them walking off the pitch afterwards, their goalkeeper was angry – he was shouting at his defender. Their centre-back also just walked off the pitch. Dessers, who bagged 22 goals in his debut season at Ibrox last term, wasn’t surprised by his stoppage-time strike. The 29-year-old revealed that he’s always been a dab hand at scoring late in games from his time at old club Feyenoord. He thought he’d equalised earlier on the night with a header but was thwarted by an incredible save from Dynamo keeper Georgiy Bushchan. But that’s one of Dessers’ biggest strengths – his resilience in front of goal.
“So I’ve had a nice run like that before. But to do it in such an important game, it feels really good. As a striker, you want that kind of service from the players around you. Jefte and Vaclav are new players but if you look at those two crosses, they were top class. Rangers will play their first league game at Hampden on Saturday against Motherwell as the National Stadium becomes their temporary home. Then in midweek, Dynamo will arrive in Glasgow hoping the fact they’re not at Ibrox can work in their favour.
