Cyriel Dessers rates European leagues better than Scotland

Nigeria star, Cyriel Dessers has named some of the European leagues currently better than the Scottish League.

The Rangers FC forward has rated the Belgian Jupiler League and Dutch Eredivisie better than the league he currently plays in.

Dessers played with KRC Genk in Belgium where he went on loan to the Dutch side Feyenoord and he was able to distinguish himself in the team.

He scored 20 goals for Feyenoord in the 2021/22 season helping them to the UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL) final.

The Nigerian spent last season with the Italian side US Cremonese and his 6 goals for the team counted for little as the team went on relegation.

The 28-year-old joined Rangers from Cremonese in August for a fee of about £4.3 million but has had a stuttering start to his career at Ibrox with supporters yet to take him to their hearts.

Despite rating the two leagues better, he quickly admitted that there is no easy game in Scotland either.

“In terms of overall standard, the Belgian and Dutch competitions are also better than the Scottish competitions and of course, Serie A is of a different level. But there are hardly any easy matches here.”
