Nigeria's Dessers fires Rangers to Scottish Cup final

Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers is proving to be an important player at Rangers as the goal poacher silenced doubters with a clinical brace against Hearts, securing their place in the Scottish Cup Final against Celtic.

Dessers dominated Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland before finishing with aplomb. The Nigerian could have scored a hat-trick but inexplicably squandered a golden opportunity late on in the game.

The 29-year-old striker scored in the 5th and 78th minutes to send Rangers into the Scottish Cup final, where they will face league leaders Celtics.

Pre-match narratives focused heavily on Hearts' abysmal record against Rangers at Hampden. Despite their valiant effort, history repeated itself as Hearts crumbled under the pressure.

A surging run by Macauley Tait led to Rangers' first goal. Dessers, capitalizing on a Cantwell assist, smashed home a powerful shot after a great save from Craig Gordon.

Fabio Silva squandered a golden opportunity after a selfless pass from Cyriel Dessers.

Rangers would have to up their game in the final if they are to stand any chance against Celtics.
