The striker’s double against Hearts propelled the Ibrox team to the Scottish Cup final.
The Rangers striker, though, says he’s learned the value of blocking out the hostility and noise that may jeopardize the Light Blues’ precarious comeback after slotting the vital brace that allowed them to go to the Scottish Cup final. The Gers’ hopes of winning the championship are now in shambles due to costly mistakes against Ross County and Dundee. However, they will have one more opportunity to win a trophy this season as Dessers’ double sank Hearts set up a decisive shootout with Celtic on May 25.
This outcome has given the Ibrox team, which was beginning to show signs of weakness as the Premiership finish line drew closer, a much-needed boost of confidence. It’s the kind of situation that Gers have encountered previously.
Distracted With just seven games played, Michael Beale’s club found itself seven points behind Celtic, a terrible start to the season for which Dessers bore the brunt of the blame. The misfiring frontman was heavily to blame. After leading this side to an incredible comeback, new boss Clement eventually silenced the hecklers who had been following him around Ibrox.
“They presented us with some challenges, but I felt that today’s defense and goalie were outstanding. It’s up to us attackers to score goals and win this game after they held a clean sheet.
After giving Nathaniel Atkinson the slip and blasting past Michael Beale’s after only five minutes, Dessers gave the Ibrox men the ideal start. Twelve minutes from the finish, he eventually put an end to Todd Cantwell’s surge during the second attempt at the semi-final.
