Nigerian international Cyriel Dessers dropped a five-star performance as Rangers thumped Fraserburg 5-0 in the Scottish Cup on Sunday, January 19.

It was the first start for the Super Eagles striker since November, and he seized the opportunity with aplomb.

The 30-year-old has lost his starting role to Moroccan international Hamza Igiamani in recent matches.

Dessers scored the opener in the 27th minute before adding the second in the 57th minute of the game.

The former Cremonese striker provided the assist for the third goal before completing his hat-trick in stoppage time.

Dessers has now managed 15 goals and four assists for the Gers this season.
