<br>Cyriel Dessers’ omission from the penalty shootout reflects a mix of tactical decisions and recent form. While his current lack of starting opportunities underlines the fierce competition in Rangers’ squad, it also raises questions about his integration into Clement’s plans.

<br>Dessers started the match on the bench, marking the sixth consecutive game where he was not part of the starting XI. Moroccan forward Hamza Igamane, in excellent form with five goals in his last five games, was preferred over Dessers. The Nigerian came on in extra time but made little impact aside from receiving a yellow card.
<br>
<br>Dessers’ contribution to Rangers’ League Cup success last season shows his potential value in crucial games. However, this season’s challenges highlight the need for consistent performances to regain his place in the starting XI. As fans, we hope Dessers leverages his experience to rise above this period and reaffirm his position as a key player for Rangers and Nigeria.
