## dessers’ Future Uncertain as Rangers Struggle and Saint-Etienne Circles
The 2024-2025 season has proven challenging for Rangers, wiht their title aspirations fading and a disappointing loss to Celtic in the Scottish League Cup final. This difficult period has impacted several key players, including striker Cyriel Dessers.
The Belgian forward, who has found himself relegated to the bench in favor of young Moroccan talent Hamza Igamane, may be considering a move away from Ibrox in the January transfer window.
According to reports from the Daily Record [[2]], Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne has expressed interest in acquiring Dessers. The 30-year-old,known for his clinical finishing (12 goals in 26 appearances this season),could provide a much-needed boost to the French clubS attack.However, Dessers would face competition for a starting position at Saint-Etienne from Lucas Stassin, who joined the club from Westerlo in the summer. Stassin, while yet to make a meaningful impact with only one goal in 12 appearances, represents a promising young talent.
Despite his recent struggles at Rangers, Dessers’ market value remains strong, estimated at €4 million by Transfermarkt. This figure is unlikely to deter Saint-etienne,who are reportedly eager to bolster their attacking options.
The potential move has sparked speculation among football fans, with many wondering if Dessers can rediscover his form in France. Only time will tell if the Belgian striker will make the switch to Ligue 1 and reignite his career.

Welcome back, football fans, to another edition of “In the Spotlight!” Today, we have the pleasure of welcoming former Scottish Premier League striker, Kenny Miller, to dissect the current situation surrounding Cyriel Dessers and his potential move to saint-etienne.Kenny, thanks for joining us.
Kenny miller: Always a pleasure to be here.
Moderator: Let’s jump right in. Dessers seems to be facing a crossroads in his career at Rangers.Is it surprising to see a proven goalscorer like him struggle for minutes, especially after his impressive goal-scoring record last season?
Kenny Miller: It’s a tough one, isn’t it? Dessers clearly has the talent, but football is fickle. Sometimes, the fit just isn’t right. Perhaps his style doesn’t quite mesh with what the manager is looking for this season. And, of course, the emergence of young Igamane adds another layer of competition.Rangers are a big club with high ambitions, so every player needs to be at their absolute best to earn a starting berth.
Moderator: speaking of competition, Saint-Etienne seems keen on acquiring Dessers. they are in need of a spark in their attack. Do you see this as a good move for him?
Kenny Miller: It could be a smart move for both parties. Dessers needs regular game time to rediscover his confidence and form. Saint-Etienne, conversely, are desperate for goals. He could be the solution they’re searching for. But, remember, he’ll face competition from Stassin, a promising youngster.
it’s fascinating to see this youthful resurgence in many teams, isn’t it? Clubs are willing to prioritize young talent who are hungry to prove themselves.
Moderator: That’s a great point. It will be fascinating to see how he adapts to Ligue 1 if the move goes through. Do you think Dessers is at a point in his career where a change of scenery might be beneficial?
Kenny Miller: Absolutely. sometimes, a fresh start is exactly what a player needs. A new league, new challenges, a new manager—it can reignite a player’s passion and motivation. He’s still relatively young and has plenty of football left in him.
Moderator: Do you agree with the reported €4 million valuation placed on Dessers?
Kenny Miller:
I wouldn’t say it’s outrageous. It reflects his potential and proven goalscoring ability.
Moderator: Once again, thank you for sharing your insights, Kenny.
Kenny Miller: My pleasure. It’s always a pleasure to discuss the stunning game.
