Dessers shines for Rangers
The Belgian-born striker's clinical finishing helped propel Rangers to a commanding victory, extending their winning streak to nine matches.
Dessers, who joined Rangers during the last summer transfer window, has quickly endeared himself to the fans with his dynamic performances on the field.
His ability to find the back of the net with precision and consistency has made him a key asset for the team for Rangers this campaign.
The match, which saw Rangers face off against fierce rivals, showcased Dessers' lethal finishing abilities. His first goal came just before the end of the first half, with Rangers already 2-0 ahead.
The 29-year-old extended the lead heading into the break, setting the tone for the thrashing from the comfortable hosts.
Displaying good positioning in front of goal, the striker enjoyed some goodwill to make it 4-0 with his second of the afternoon for Rangers, sending the home crowd into raptures.
How many goals for the Eagles' star?
With his latest brace, Dessers has now cemented his place as one of Rangers' most potent attacking threats, with the brace taking his tally to 12 goals this season in the Scottish Premier League.
The Super Eagles forward has also provided two assists in 18 starts for the Gers to show his return to form.
As the team continues its pursuit of silverware on multiple fronts, Dessers' goal-scoring could play a key role in their quest to reclaim the lost glory from bitter rivals, Celtic.
The Gers currently lead the Premiership with 67 points, five clear of defending champions, Celtic, who are second.
