Colak was better 'all-round striker' than Dessers & it's time for Rangers to cash in

Cyriel Dessers has showcased his goalscoring prowess in recent weeks, scoring six times from his last four Rangers appearances. 

Dessers, 30, is often a scrape-goat among Rangers supporters and has been linked with a January switch away from Ibrox. 

Despite that, the Nigerian has 18 goals to his name this season, and he's came up trumps on several occasions when his team have needed him despite falling behind Hamza Igamane in the Light Blues' pecking order.

"He’s scored two great goals [vs Manchester United and Dundee United]. His numbers are not bad. But let’s be honest, he’s not good enough. Colak for me was a better all-round striker than Dessers.

"Get Dessers out of the door because he’ll be on a big pack of money, you might be able to recoup some money but I’d be looking at those last two games and going ‘Brilliant’.

“Don’t be fooled into thinking there might be a player in there. We’ve seen enough.”
