Former Scotland and Aston Villa striker, Ross McCormack, has heaped praise on Super Eagles and Rangers\u2019 star, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 30-year-old didn\u2019t have the best time during the first half of the season at Ibrox, as he lost his place in the Rangers<\/a> starting eleven.<\/p>\n

The striking position largely, became a thing of \u201cthis or that\u201d for Philippe Clement. Dessers<\/a>, after getting linked with several clubs during the winter transfer window opted to stay put, and appears to have turned things around with the Blues.<\/p>\n

Dessers has scored 18 goals and provided five assists in 39 games for Rangers across all competitions this season, and his impressive displays drew praise from McCormack.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a fan of Cyriel Dessers this season. I like it when he plays. I think he gives Rangers a different dimension,\u201d the former Rangers striker said in quotes revealed by Rangers News UK<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Additionally, the former Aston Villa striker mentioned Hamza Igamane is a better player when he starts alongside Cyriel Dessers in the Rangers attack.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think, when he plays, Igamane\u2019s then got the freedom to go and sort of do whatever he wants; Drop deep, link the play, turn and run at people, play. I think he looks a far better player for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0The pairing of Igamane and Dessers is still a fairly new tactic for Philippe Clement, but the Gers are yet to lose a game when the duo start in attack.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
