Super Eagles striker Dessers battles for Player of the Month Award
After a rather disappointing start to the month of April, Cyriel Dessers has finally found form to lay claim to the Player of the Month Award at Scottish giants Rangers.
Dessers hit a three-game goal drought at the start of the month, before he fought back to fire three goals in his last two games in April.
The Super Eagles striker netted the winner at St Mirren in the league and delivered a double at Hearts to lift his Scottish side to the FA Cup final.
Dessers will now slug it out with defenders Diomande and James Tavernier, goalkeeper Jack Butland and Todd Cantwell as he aims for his second Player of the Month Award this season.
