Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers was on target as Rangers battled to a 1-1 draw against Olympiacos in Thursday night’s UEFA Europa League encounter in Greece.
Softfootball understands that Dessers’ latest strike took his tally to nine goals in all competitions for the Scottish Premiership side this season, continuing his impressive goalscoring form.
The hosts broke the deadlock in the 56th minute through prolific forward Ayoub El Kaabi, who finished confidently to put Olympiacos ahead.
Rangers responded eight minutes later when Dessers found the back of the net in the 64th minute to restore parity and earn the visitors a valuable point away from home.
Former Super Eagles defender Leon Balogun was included in Rangers’ matchday squad but remained on the bench throughout the contest.
The result leaves Rangers in ninth place in the Europa League standings with seven points from four matches, keeping their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive.
