Chris Sutton and Kris Boyd found themselves in another heated exchange on Sky Sports over Cyriel Dessers’ future at Rangers. The Nigerian striker scored his 22nd goal of the season in a comeback win against Dundee, but discussions arose about whether he is good enough to be the club’s top striker.
Sutton questioned Dessers’ ability to lead the line despite his goal tally, suggesting that Rangers need an upgrade to compete at a higher level. Boyd defended Dessers by pointing out that he has outscored Celtic’s number nine, Kyogo.
The debate escalated as Sutton dismissed the comparison to Kyogo, leading to Boyd insisting on Dessers’ goal-scoring record. The question of who Boyd would choose between Dessers and Kyogo went unanswered, shifting the focus back to the striker’s role in the team.
While Dessers has missed chances, he has also proven his value to Clement’s tactics. With other signings failing to make an impact, Dessers’ contributions cannot be overlooked. Both pundits made valid points, emphasizing that Rangers should not rush to replace him in the upcoming transfer window.
