Breaking News:Rangers are set to bring him back
Brand new season, same old Glasgow Rangers. It appears that Philippe Clement hasn’t learned much from the final few weeks of the 2023/24 campaign, as the Ibrox side dropped points in their Premiership opener.
Hearts were the better team during large spells of the league clash at Tynecastle as the Gers couldn’t quite find their rhythm, dropping two vital points.
The Jambos had 17 shots to just nine from the Light Blues, and they can perhaps count themselves unlucky at not finding a winner.
The 0-0 draw will hopefully be a wake-up call for Clement and the rest of the team as they face Dynamo Kviv on Tuesday evening. With changes to be made, will Cyriel Dessers start against the Ukrainians after yet another poor display?
Cyriel Dessers’ game in numbers vs Hearts
Despite Clement looking to bring in another number nine this summer, Dessers was chosen to lead the line against the Edinburgh side.
The Nigerian played the full 90 minutes, coming close to opening the scoring on a few occasions during the clash, even hitting the crossbar when it was easier to score. Déjà vu indeed.
Throughout the game, Dessers managed just three shots in total, with only one on target, while missing a big chance and succeeding with just one dribble.
He also managed to take just 23 touches during the tie, which was half the number that goalkeeper Jack Butland managed throughout the game, showing how little he saw of the ball.
The striker’s lack of involvement was also seen by the fact that he completed just seven passes from 12 attempts. His poor distribution didn’t do him any favours as he looked to open his account for the campaign.
Glasgow World journalist Lewis Anderson gave Dessers a match rating of 6/10, which was surprising given how poor he was as the main attacking outlet for the Light Blues.
