Breaking News:Rangers Hamza Igamane competition and targets trophies not goals
Cyriel Dessers welcomes the chase from Hamza Igamane amid a clamour for Rangers supporters for the new signing to be more involved.
The Nigerian has been the undisputed first pick for the Gers striking berth over the last year or so with Danilo struggling with repeated injury issues. Igamane was signed in the summer and has been gradually eased in with some sub appearances after overcoming an injury of his own and bedding into life in Scotland.
Fans have been pleased with what they’ve seen in the fleeting glimpses and would like to see more of the 21-year-old. But Dessers scored another two goals during the cup win over Dundee at the weekend to take his tally to the season to seven in nine games. He wants to keep his place in the team but is also pleased to see that there is now healthy competition.
“So it’s really good that Hamza and Dani (Danilo) are here. I’m sure we will need them and that they will be ready at that moment. You can see Hamza, he has something. I can see it as well in training. When he comes in, he has something and I’m happy with that. We will need all of our strikers this season, and hopefully we can score a lot of goals – all of us.”
Dessers was on target as Rangers celebrated a happy homecoming victory back at Ibrox. Having spent the first six weeks of the season locked out of their own stadium following a construction cock-up on the Copland Road end, Clement’s team were quick to settle in as they swept past Tony Docherty’s Dark Blues.
“It felt really good to be back,” said Dessers. “Just the small things like arriving at the parking lot and going through the fans. Seeing the fans before the game, it’s always a good feeling.
“We knew Dundee is a tricky team. But just to be back here at Ibrox, win and score a couple of goals, keep a clean sheet. Jack Butland made some amazing saves, so it’s a good night.”
