Cyriel Dessers has welcomed the appointment of Rangers legend Barry Ferguson as the club’s interim manager, saying the former captain’s experience and deep connection with the club can inspire the squad during the remainder of the season.
Ferguson was handed the role following the dismissal of Philippe Clement and enjoyed a dream start by guiding Rangers to an entertaining 4-2 victory over Kilmarnock. Dessers starred in the win with two goals, while Vaclav Cerny and Nedim Bajrami also found the net.
Softfootball understands the Nigerian striker is optimistic Ferguson’s leadership will have a positive impact on the dressing room.
Dessers praised the 47-year-old’s remarkable achievements as a player, noting that his success and understanding of Rangers make him the ideal figure to lead the team through a challenging period. Dessers said:
He’s a Rangers legend. He knows what the club stands for and what the fans expect.
The Super Eagles forward added that Ferguson and his coaching staff are passing on valuable lessons about the club’s identity and culture. Dessers believes the players can use that knowledge as motivation to improve their performances and finish the campaign on a strong note.
