Super Eagles<\/a> and Rangers<\/a> striker, Cyriel Kolawole Dessers<\/a>, was delighted to have broken his seasonal goalscoring record with the club after his goal against Dundee yesterday evening, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 30-year-old joined the Gers from Cremonese in the summer of 2023, and for all of the stick that he gets, Dessers<\/a> has scored 45 goals and provided 16 assists in 100 games across all competition for the record Scottish Champions.<\/p>\n Dessers scored 22 goals in his debut season, after initially aiming for 20 goal-scoring contributions. This season, with about six weeks of football left to play, the Super Eagles<\/a> star has scored 23 goals, doing one better than he scored last season.<\/p>\n YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE;<\/strong><\/p>\n New Leao \u2013 Highly-rated Juventus attacking youngster ditches Nigeria, dreams of Italy call-up<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Watch: Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams vibe to Skales\u2019 shakebody on duty with Spain<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Nigerian players in England: Five Super Eagles Stars Who Scored Premier League Hat-Tricks<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n He\u2019s now just behind Victor Osimhen<\/a> on the list of Nigerian top goal-scorers in Europe. After twelve shots on goal against Dundee last night, the former Feyenoord was elated to have finally scored, crediting the opposition goalkeeper, Trevor Carson.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019d need to give me a few minutes to sum that game up \u2013 I can\u2019t fathom what just happened. From the first minute until the end, it was a roller coaster.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a lot of pain for 91 minutes, but to win<\/span>, this feels great. At 2-0 down, it was very hard mentally. We got back into the game with a great cross by Tav and the own goal.<\/p>\n \u201cI knew something was possible, but then we lost another goal. You think again. It was a shame. The mentality of coming back showed again, but unfortunately, we\u2019re having to show<\/span> it too much.<\/p>\n \u201cIt would be a lot easier if we threw the first punch and they had to come back,\u201d Dessers said in quotes revealed by the Scottish Sun<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n He then shaded the outstanding Dundee goalkeeper, who\u2019d denied him on eight occasions but was helpless for the final goal.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was a pain in the a*** for me tonight and had a lot of good saves, but I was happy to beat him in the end. That\u2019s the life of a striker<\/span>.<\/p>\n \u201cA few finishes I hit well, but he saved them. I thought maybe the next<\/span> one would go in, but I\u2019m happy to beat him at the end. He was not happy at the end but I was happy.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can never make it easy for ourselves, but it\u2019s something we need to learn to win<\/span> titles or go far in Europe<\/span>. You need to throw the first punch, then play out the game.<\/p>\n \u201cToo often we need to go to the last minute, and that should not be necessary. We need to be more mature and start better. That would make our life a lot easier,\u201d the former Cremonese striker concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n![](\"https:\/\/soccernet.ng\/app\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rangers-cyriel-dessers-celebrates-scoring-983398696.webp\")
