Cyriel Dessers is playing for the Rangers badge on his chest. Now he wants the Champions League emblem on his arm.
The striker stands just 90 minutes away from the achievement of his first major ambition this season, from the realisation of a boyhood dream. Rangers are within touching distance of the groupThe chance to compete at the highest echelon of the game is one that the majority of players do not get in their careers.
Rangers have given themselves every chance ahead of their date with destiny at the Philips Stadion. For the second time in as many seasons, they head to Holland with victory in their sights on the back of a draw at Ibrox. “In big parts of the game, we had control. On the other hand, if you score twice at home at the play-off round of the Champions League then it would be perfect if you could go into the second leg with an advantage. But, OK, this is football and we have everything to play for in the second leg.
Rangers received a red hot welcome at the Philips Stadion last August as supporters swarmed the team bus. Smoke and flares filled the air and Giovanni van Bronckhorst was left incensed that kick-off was not delayed despite the significant interruptions to preparations.
“I actually saw [the game last season], as well as the one against Union Saint-Gilloise. We go there now with the same result as the first game here so hopefully we can get the same outcome as well.”
