Cyriel Dessers Drops Bombshell Claim About Rangers’ DNA, Sparking Speculation on Two Key Manager Replacements for Barry Ferguson

May 6, 2025 RAYMOND 0

There is no clear frontrunner to replace Philippe Clement as manager of Rangers, with Barry Ferguson currently holding the position on an interim basis. The decision on who will take over is expected to be influenced by the upcoming San Francisco 49ers takeover, which could play a key role in the club’s future direction. Additionally, Kevin Thelwell’s appointment as sporting director adds another layer of importance to the managerial decision, given his experience in hiring and firing.

Despite recent struggles, Cyriel Dessers has voiced his support for Ferguson, pointing to his ability to unite the team during a challenging period. Dessers emphasized that Ferguson’s deep understanding of the club’s DNA and his connection with the fans are significant advantages. Ferguson’s experience and leadership have been crucial in stabilizing the team, even though consistency has remained an ongoing issue. However, Dessers also acknowledged that while Ferguson’s knowledge of Rangers is a big positive, other potential candidates like Steven Gerrard and Kevin Muscat—both with strong ties to the club—could also be considered for the role.

‘Nowhere Near Good Enough’: Award-Winning Rangers Star Under Fire as Craig Moore Delivers Scathing Attack!

When Rangers last won the league, almost any player in the starting XI could have been named player of the year. The team’s success was built on a collective effort, with even underappreciated players like Ianis Hagi contributing significantly. The defense, which set a record, went largely unrecognized, despite the vital roles of players like Connor Goldson. Fast forward to the current squad, and Nicolas Raskin is the only standout performer, with young Hamza Igamane showing promise for the future.

However, John Souttar, despite winning the John Greig achievement award, has drawn heavy criticism for his recent performances. Craig Moore didn’t hold back, describing Souttar’s display against St Mirren as “really poor” and emphasizing that even in games with little at stake, playing for Rangers means always being at your best. Moore’s frustration highlights a larger issue within the squad—aside from Raskin, no player has been consistent enough to challenge for player of the year. Rangers need multiple standout players to compete at the top level, but with defensive issues and errors from experienced players like Souttar, the team faces a long road ahead in their pursuit of another title.
