Philippe Clement reveals Cyriel Dessers Rangers future discussions

Philippe Clement has held talks with Cyriel Dessers over his Rangers future.

Despite a goal off the bench in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Aberdeen, the striker has fallen out of favour in recent weeks amid the emergence of Hamza Igamane.

Dessers has played 32 times for the Ibrox club this season but has started just once in the past month.

"Cyriel is working really hard. He's doing everything. He's good in the group. He's a very good lad. He's thinking very collectively always.

"Is there a moment that he wants to play all the games? Then he needs to make a decision. If it's not the case, he's in competition with others. That's freeing him to talk."

It remains to be seen where Dessers will end up come the end of the January transfer window.

After his strike, which wrapped up Wednesday's win over the Dons, he will hope to return to the starting eleven for Sunday's visit of Highland League side Fraserburgh to Ibrox.
