Cyriel Dessers, who Barry Ferguson loves to refer to as “the big man”, has won high praise from the Rangers interim boss.
Dessers, 30, rose to the occasion with a stoppage time winner at Dundee Saturday.
It was his 23rd goal in all competitions this season.
The Super Eagles striker criticisms from the fans and media, but the man who picks the team only had superlatives for him.
“One thing about the big man, he has been a joy to work with, and he is a brilliant worker. Brilliant listener. He wants to improve even at his age,” Ferguson saluted.
“He puts himself in brilliant positions, he can get frustrated and start feeling sorry for himself, but he keeps going.
“He got his reward with the winner.
“Even before I took the job I always said the big guy would keep going. If he got criticism from fans, the media, the big man just rolls his sleeves up.
“I didn’t think it would affect him and it never affected him. He kept going. If you have that type of character then you get your rewards in the end.”
