Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers has made a heartfelt plea to the club's disgruntled fanbase, urging them to remain patient and supportive as the team battles through a difficult phase under manager Russell Martin.
The Nigerian striker, who joined the Glasgow giants last summer, acknowledged the growing frustration among supporters following a string of underwhelming results but insisted the squad needs their backing now more than ever.
Dessers Calls for Unity
Speaking after Rangers' latest disappointing performance, Dessers told reporters: "I understand the fans' frustration - we're not delivering what they expect. But this is when we need them most. Their support can make all the difference."
The 29-year-old striker, who has scored 8 goals this season, admitted the players must shoulder responsibility for recent poor results but believes the team can turn things around with collective effort.
Pressure Mounts on Martin
Manager Russell Martin finds himself under increasing scrutiny as Rangers continue to trail arch-rivals Celtic in the Scottish Premiership title race. Recent defeats have seen some sections of the Ibrox faithful voice their discontent.
Dessers, however, defended his manager: "The gaffer is working tirelessly to put things right. We're all in this together - players, staff and fans. We'll come through this stronger."
Critical Period Ahead
With crucial fixtures looming in both domestic and European competitions, Dessers emphasized the importance of unity during this testing period: "Football is about highs and lows. Right now we're being tested, but I've seen the quality in this squad. With the fans behind us, we can get back to winning ways."
The striker's comments come as Rangers prepare for a pivotal run of games that could define their season, with the club still competing on multiple fronts despite their inconsistent form.
