The manager of the Scottish Premier League side Rangers, Philip Clement has said he is pleased with the performance of Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Cyril Dessers, BSNSports.com.ng reports 

Since he arrived at the Ibrox Stadium this summer Dessers has suffered a series of criticism from the club fans due to the poor performance of the team.

The Gers secured a 2-3 away win against the Spanish La Liga side Real Betis in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday and the Nigerian International was among the goal scorers.

During a post-match conference, the coach emphasised that is pleased with the performance of the former Genk of Belgium striker.

"No, not only the goal, also the work he did. Cyriel was one of the guys on the plane that I spoke with, with the videos to improve things and you see he’s really working hard to do the things how we want it, how we want the striker to play. 

He’s stepped into the story. He’s working hard for the team and then you get the chances to score. And then you get the confidence of your teammates and of your coach. 

So I’m really pleased about him. Also, Sam (Lammers) had a lot of stick the last couple of months I hear, he played for me also a really good game. 

So the past is the past, all the things that happened weeks or months ago, it’s not important. All the things that happened in weeks or months are not important. 

It’s about the story we’re going to continue in the next weeks and the next months, that’s the most important", he said.

The win against Real Betis means the first time Rangers will defeat a Spanish club in the competition.
