The Latest Signing for Rangers
On Thursday night, it was confirmed that Cyriel Dessers, a Nigerian international, had signed a four-year contract with Rangers. This makes him the sixth signing under the management of Michael Beale. Dessers, 28 years old, had previously played for Cremonese, a Serie A side that was relegated. Rangers struck a deal with Cremonese to bring Dessers on board.
A Quick Introduction, Then Off to Germany
Dessers wasted no time in getting to know his new teammates. Shortly after putting pen to paper on his new deal, he was on a flight out of Scotland with the rest of the team. Rangers are traveling to east Germany for a training camp and will engage in three friendlies, two of which will be against German sides.
Getting to Know the Team
The nine-day trip to Germany will provide an opportunity for Dessers and other new signings, such as Dujon Sterling, Sam Lammers, and Abdallah Sima, to learn more about their teammates and further integrate themselves into the squad.
A Remote Training Camp
The team will be based in a secluded forest location approximately an hour away from Leipzig. This remote training regime will include one local bounce match behind closed doors before the team returns to Scotland.
The Dress Rehearsals and Upcoming Fixtures
Upon their return from Germany, Rangers will have some important fixtures coming up. Allan McGregor’s testimonial against Newcastle will take place on July 18, followed by a match against Bundesliga 2 outfit Hamburg on July 22. On July 29, Rangers will travel back to Germany to face TSG Hoffenheim at the PreZero Arena. The friendlies will conclude with a home fixture against Olympiakos on July 26.
Looking Ahead
With their SPFL Premiership bid set to kick off on August 5 against Kilmarnock, Rangers have Champions League qualifiers on the horizon. They will enter the competition at the third qualifying round stage, with the first leg scheduled for either August 8 or 9.
Notable Absences
Not joining the squad on their trip to Germany is Nico Raskin, who has been given added time off after representing Belgium under-21s in the Euros. Additionally, a deal for LAFC midfielder Jose Cifuentes, which is rumored to be close, has yet to be completed. However, forward Kemar Roofe, who has been recovering from injury, was spotted among the party heading out.
Conclusion
Cyriel Dessers’ arrival has added a new dynamic force to the Rangers team. As they embark on their training camp and friendly matches in Germany, the new signings will have the opportunity to bond with their teammates and further develop their understanding of the style of play. The upcoming fixtures, including Champions League qualifiers, will provide a test for the team’s preparedness and readiness for the competitive season ahead. Rangers fans will be eagerly watching to see how Dessers and the others integrate into the squad and contribute to the team’s success.
