Rangers' Cyriel Dessers sends bold message to Celtic

There will be a fifth Glasgow Derby this season. Celtic will be facing the Rangers in the final of the Scottish Cup, as Philippe Clement's side were able to get the better of Hearts at Hampden Park. A brace from Cyriel Dessers was enough for the Ibrox club to seal the victory. And in the aftermath of the match, it looks like the striker was feeling quite confident about his team.

Dessers joined the Rangers last summer. The transfer fee was believed to be around £4.5 million, a significant figure for Scottish clubs.

Dessers made a slow start to life at Ibrox but has scored more consistently as the season has progressed. And the brace against Hearts represented his two most important goals for the Rangers till now.

Of course, things won't be so easy against Celtic. The Hoops have not lost against the Rangers this season. In fact, they were unlucky not to come out with a win from Ibrox recently.

Rangers' Cyriel Dessers sends bold message to Celtic

Despite not winning against Celtic so far in his Rangers career, it looks like Dessers believes that the Ibrox club are the best in Scotland. He told BBC Scotland:

"If you look at the last months, we showed what we're capable of. It's just the thing to find this vibe back. If we can find that rhythm back, I think we're the best team in the league."

Well, Celtic will get the chance to prove Dessers wrong. There is another Glasgow Derby left to be played in the league, when the Hoops will welcome the Rangers to Parkhead. Considering how tight the league title race is right now, that could have major implications.

On the other hand, the two Glasgow teams will face each other in the final of the Scottish Cup as well. For Celtic, a double is on while the Rangers could potentially win the treble but they need to get the better of Rodgers' team to do that, something they have rarely been able to do.
