CYRIEL DESSERS admits it was a special moment to mark his 100th Rangers appearance with the winner against Dundee.
The Nigerian international striker struck in stoppage time to give Barry Ferguson’s men a 4-3 win at Dens Park.
The Light Blues trailed 2-0 and then 3-1 before two superb strikes from James Tavernier and Tom Lawrence made it all square, with Dessers then netting to grab the points.
It takes his tally to 45 goals in 100 games and he was delighted to be the last-gasp hero.
Speaking to RangersTV, he said: “It was very nice to score so late, but the 90 minutes before that were not that nice. At the end if you can score like that in your 100th game it is a very nice feeling.
“I know Tav and his qualities and he can give these balls and I think it got carried a little bit by the wind.
“The defender could only get a touch and I had good control on my chest and then slipped it past the keeper.
“It was an unbelievable moment, scoring an injury time winner.”
It was an action-packed Saturday showdown in the City of Discovery as the home side raced into a 2-0 lead.
James Tavernier’s cross was deflected into his own net by Joe Shaughnessy, before Dessers thought he had made it 2-2 early in the second half, only for his goal to be ruled out for offside.
Scott Tiffoney made it 3-1 to the Dark Blues, before Tavernier and Lawrence made it all square, with Dessers netting the winner in injury time.
He believes the squad showed the right character, but admits they have to stop giving teams the advantage in matches.
He added: “I still can’t comprehend everything that happened, it was a rollercoaster again.
“Before you know it you are 2-0 down and then you know you have a steep hill to climb.
“We fought back and thought we had made it 2-2 but the goal was disallowed for offside and then they scored with their next chance.
“We showed our mentality to come back but we have done that too many times, it would be nice to get the first punch so they have to come onto us.
“We have that belief and we can turn games around and we have shown that this season.
“We have to take it like it comes but hopefully in the next game we can make it a bit easier.”
