Rangers v Aberdeen: Cyriel Dessers unlikely to start as fresh hint emerges
Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers is now unlikely to start the game against Aberdeen on Tuesday, 5 February, amid a hint on Monday afternoon.
Ahead of every game, the manager and a player attend the press conference and usually, the one who’s answering the questions is named in the playing eleven.
Silva recently scored his first Gers goal after starting on the weekend against Livingston and he seems likely to retain his spot in the eleven as he was in attendance for the presser.
Cyriel Dessers, who’s hit form recently, providing five G+A in his last seven appearances with only five of them being starts.
He’s also bagged eight league goals this term and is slowly getting acclimatised to Clement’s demands at Ibrox.
Tough luck for Dessers but great for Ibrox faithful
Dessers may feel hard done by as he’s only recently shown why the club roped in his services in the summer.
However, the decision to start Silva over Dessers could motivate both players to elevate their performance levels.
Competition for starting spots encourages players to push themselves harder in training and matches, striving to outperform their teammate.
This healthy rivalry benefits the team as a whole, especially in the title race against Celtic.
With two quality strikers fighting for the spot, Rangers can expect increased intensity and productivity upfront, ultimately enhancing their chances of securing victories and maintaining their lead in the title race.
