Rangers must be on red alert amid Cyriel

Dessers AFCON update Due to an injury

to star striker Victor

Boniface, the Scottish tabloid revealed

that Dessers might be selected for

Nigeria’s squad in the international

competition based on rumors sourced from Africa.

Since AFCON has already taken Abdallah

Sima away from Ibrox and both Kemar

Roofe and Danilo are sidelined with long-

term injuries, Philippe Clement has been

limited in his options when it comes to attacking play.

Sima, a Brighton loanee, will

undoubtedly be the most missed. The 22-

year-old, who has scored 15 goals in 33

games since joining the team in the

summer, is the leading scorer for the Gers this year.

And now that Clement’s team is down to

its core, Rangers need to exercise caution

since Dessers might be the next man to

be ruled out. Due to an injury sustained

by Bayer Leverkusen Boniface, the 29-

year-old may be asked to step in for him.

Even with the new loan signing of

Wolves outcast Fabio Silva, Rangers are

extremely light up top, leaning on the

likes of the young and inexperienced

Ross McCausland, the disappointing Sam

Lammers and Rabbi Matondo, who is

working his way back to full fitness.

If Dessers gets called up to the Nigerian

squad for the AFCON, which runs until

February 11th, Rangers could suffer a

major setback to their season. Despite

the fact that the Super Eagles will have to

contend for a spot in the championship

game, Dessers’ month-long absence might actually happen.

In the upcoming Scottish Premiership

and Europa League games, Clement will

rely heavily on his diverse team, which

was primarily assembled during Michael

Beale’s summer shopping binge.

Rangers are already eight points behind

league leaders Celtic, and they cannot

afford to lose any more players to

injuries or outside competitions. It’s

terrible enough that Sima is joining Senegal.

The only thing that will save the team is

that Terem Moffi of Nice is ahead of

Dessers in the running to take Boniface’s

place. However, it is unclear if the

French side will permit him to go for the competition.
