Choosing Rangers’ star performer during the 2-1 Europa League victory against Union Saint Gilloise would be like to asking Quentin Tarantino to pick a favorite from his collection of instant classics. Do you prefer the savagery of Kill Bill? The meandering, comfortable viewing of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood? Or maybe the revenge-fueled exhilaration of Django Unchained? Do Rangers fans prefer Nico Raskin’s blood-and-thunder ferocity? Vaclav Cerny’s meandering, easy viewing? Or is Cyriel Dessers, the striker who struggled in Belgian football with KRC Genk, issuing the perfect retort to Union Saint Gilloise supporters who spent much of the pre-match…

Tom English has responded to a Celtic supporter who questioned why Adam Idah was not commended for his performance against Aston Villa while Rangers star Cyriel Dessers was for his performance against Union Saint-Gilloise. While the Nigeria international did not score, his hold-up play and fine eye for a ball both contributed to the Gers’ three-point victory at Ibrox. English took to X to laud Dessers, writing: “Big Dessers was pretty excellent tonight. Incredible resilience. The abuse the guy has endured is unbelievable. Tough boy with growing confidence. Fair play to him. One response questioned why Idah, who scored twice…

The 2024/25 season has been odd for both fans and Clement, as they have frequently demanded his resignation following dismal league performance. However, it appears that the Belgian is safe for the time being, and with only a few days remaining in the winter transfer window, now is the moment for Clement to make things right at Ibrox. So, the Gers have got a…
Daniel Farke has been tight-lipped regarding transfer activity at Elland Road throughout the winter window.

Keith Hackett believes UEFA delegates may include Union Saint-Gilloise defender Kevin Mac Allister in their post-match report against Rangers.
