What Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers said about ‘living legend’ James Tavernier after Viaplay Cup triumph
James Tavernier, the captain of Rangers, is considered “a living legend” by Cyriel Dessers after his goal in the second half against
Aberdeen ended Sunday’s Viaplay Cup final at Hampden Park.
The right-back completed the collection of domestic trophies when he scored Rangers’ 1-0 victory over
the Dons with an incredible volley at the back post. This was Tavernier’s 115th goal of the season.
Previously, he had won the Premiership and the Scottish Cup at Ibrox.
And Dessers admitted his team mate’s winner underlined his importance to the team, just as he did when scoring a brace in the 3-1 semi-final win over Hearts last month.
“At this club, he’s a living legend,” the forward said. He proves his ability to provide similar moments today as well.
similar to both the semifinal and this final. He is a fantastic captain as well as a fantastic player.
It brings me great joy to play with him.”
Dessers – one of several players to come in for plenty of criticism from supporters
after a sluggish start to his Gers career – was thrilled to cap off a memorable week by sealing silverware at the
national stadium. The Nigerian netted a crucial goal against Real Betis in Spain on Thursday
and believes his recent upturn in form has left him feeling in a better place.
“I think the turnaround came already when the new gaffer came in. My performances since then are getting better.
This week has been a really important week for me and I’m really happy that I’m here with a medal and a trophy.
“This only fuels our desire for even more, enabling us to keep moving forward and pushing.”
We must take pleasure in this. We must cherish this moment with the players, the staff,
and the supporters since it has been a long time since the Rangers have won this League Cup.
It needs to uplift our spirits because we have a busy month ahead of us.
We’re definitely concentrating on our narrative and the variables under our control.
All we have on our minds is ourselves. We’ve experienced some lovely evenings and moments in the past two weeks,
including one in Seville. All we want is to carry on.”
