Rangers’ manager Russell Martin is hopeful that Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers will back in full fitness for their Champions League qualification match against Club Brugge on Tuesday.
Dessers sustained an ankle injury during the Light Blues’ UEFA Champions League third qualifying round second leg clash against Viktoria Plzen is unavailable in Sunday Scottish Premier League match against St Mirren.
But he was back to training on Friday to delight of coach Martin: “He’s working hard on the training pitch, in the physio room. It was his first time on the pitch today.”
“So Tuesday is probably more achievable,” said Martin.
Dessers, who finished last season as the Scottish Premiership top scorer, is seen as a crucial part of Rangers’ attack.
This would be good news to Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle who is hoping to have Dessers fit for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa.
