It would have been understandable for one of Rangers’ main players to feel under pressure when he made his first appearance for the national team in two years. especially considering that his inclusion in the starting lineup was largely dependent on the absence of the £94 million Serie A champion of his nation, who is undoubtedly the biggest star on the continent, due to an injury sustained prior to kickoff.
However, you never would have suspected that Belgian-born frontman Cyriel Dessers had butterflies in his stomach given that, with 38 minutes remaining in Friday’s 2-1 friendly triumph over Ghana, he opened the score from the penalty spot.

A “menace,” Rangers striker makes his international comeback.
“Taking a penalty for the Super Eagles is unique because it’s for the entire nation and in a unique match against Ghana.” Speaking to All Nigeria Soccer, Dessers grinned and thanked teammate and regular spot-kick taker Kelechi Iheanacho for awarding him the penalty. “You’ll definitely want to score,” he said.
“I was relieved to finally score the goal that gave us a 1-0 lead. We have achieved a good triumph. I was quite good in the first half of the game. The second half was a little bit more challenging, but I believe the team as a whole had greater difficulty.
