Rangers Stand Firm: Dessers and the January Transfer Saga

Rangers reject ten offers for striker Cyriel Dessers as January transfer window heats up, with other clubs also facing challenges in the market.

In the latest transfer gossip surrounding the football world, Rangers have decisively turned down ten offers for their striker, Cyriel Dessers. According to Dessers' agent, Stijn Francis, the club showed no interest in loan agreements, emphasizing their commitment to retaining their star forward.

Meanwhile, fellow Scottish club Celtic also faced setbacks as 17-year-old Mason Melia opted for a move to Tottenham Hotspur over the Bhoys, signing a lucrative five-year contract. This decision showcases the intense competition in attracting young talent within the Premier League, underscoring the challenges that Celtic and other clubs must navigate.

Former Ibrox captain, Craig Moore, expressed concerns that Rangers might be overlooking valuable resources in their recruitment strategy. He highlighted the potential benefits of tapping into their extensive global network of ex-players to enhance their scouting and acquisition efforts.

On another note, Dutch striker Dylan Vente has been making headlines thanks to his impressive performance on loan at PEC Zwolle, where he has found the net six times in the last five matches. His underwhelming stint at Hibernian raised eyebrows, but former forward Tam McManus suggests that Vente could still play a crucial role in the team’s future endeavors at Easter Road.

In injury news, Hibs skipper Joe Newell will miss the upcoming Scottish Cup clash against Ayr United. Although sidelined since 2025, there is optimism as he is expected to resume group training next week, marking a potential return to action soon.

As the January window progresses, clubs are gearing up for critical decisions that could shape their seasons. Fans are left to ponder the implications of these developments, eagerly awaiting the next moves in the ever-dynamic world of football.
