Super Eagles and Rangers striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, opened his Scottish FA Cup goalscoring account for the year in his side\u2019s 5-0 win over Fraserburgh, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old was drafted into the Gers\u2019 starting lineup for the first time in 2025 after falling out of favour at Ibrox. Rangers boss, Philippe Clement has consistently chosen Hamza Igamane and Danilo over the Nigerian.<\/p>\n

Dessers had a chance to break the deadlock inside seven minutes, but scuffed his chance, playing the ball wide, away from a gaping goal.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, he made up for the missed chance in the 27th minute. The former Cremonese striker headed home from a corner kick.<\/p>\n

Dessers completed his hat-trick-a-treat in the 90th minute. The Nigerian shielded his man from the ball before dribbling past the goalkeeper to tap home into an empty net. After falling down the pecking order in the past month, a trio on the night will do the striker a whole world of good. It was the Nigerian\u2019s\u00a0 first Gers hat-trick<\/p>\n

Dessers<\/a><\/strong> has been linked with a move away from Rangers during the January transfer window. Although the striker has admitted considering an exit, his display this evening might have caused a change of heart.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
