Cyriel Kolawole Dessers, the Super Eagles and Rangers striker, is optimistic about his team’s chances in their upcoming Europa League match against Malmö FF, the former club of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Dessers has enjoyed a strong start to the season, netting seven goals in nine appearances across all competitions.

Rangers will begin their Europa League journey with a challenging away fixture at Eleda Park in Sweden. Dessers, who played a crucial role in helping Rangers secure the top position in their Europa League group last season, emphasized the excitement of competing at this level despite the tough draw.

“We have a challenging yet exciting match ahead. Playing away at Malmö is not an easy start, but it’s the kind of game you want to be involved in. We’re looking forward to the challenge and hope to deliver a strong performance to secure a win,” he stated on the club’s official website after scoring twice in the League Cup against Dundee FC.

Last season, Dessers contributed significantly to Rangers with 22 goals and nine assists. Although he faced criticism for inconsistency, his current form shows promise, making him a key player for the team’s aspirations in the Europa League this year.
