AFCON 2025
Cyriel Dessers has credited Rangers’ quality in their comeback to draw 1-1 against Olympiacos last night.
It was a strong display from Philippe Clement’s men, who now have seven points from the opening four games of the UEFA Europa League league phase.
Dessers scored the equalizer with a composed finish in the second-half, but he insists it was all about the effort from the team.
Speaking to RangersTV, he said: “It was a very good team performance against a team with a lot of quality, in a special atmosphere so I think we can be proud.
On his goal, Dessers continued: “I think we were close in midfield a few times and then Vaclav got his foot in between and made an interception and he sent me through.
“I saw the defender coming so I faked a little bit that I was going to shoot early then I could chop him and take the ball past him, and I had a nice finish, it dropped in the bottom corner. It went fast on instinct, so I am happy with the goal.”
The striker hopes the squad can take confidence from the performance with some big games still to come in the Europa League.
