Dessers Out for Season; O'Neill Praises Iheanacho's Impact

Cyriel Dessers, a 32-year-old player who joined Rangers FC from Panathinaikos last summer, is anticipated to be out for the remainder of the season due to a procedural injury stemming from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. He is set to return to Greece for treatment after being forced to withdraw from the tournament in February.

A fresh medical check is expected to confirm that his injury has not healed, prompting a decision for surgery. In a related note, Martin O'Neill, the current coach of Celtic FC, praised Kelechi Iheanacho for his significant influence within the squad after Iheanacho scored in the 82nd minute of a recent match against Dundee FC, securing a 2-1 victory for Celtic.

This goal marked Iheanacho's fourth of the season, ending an 182-day wait for a goal, as Celtic continues to compete firmly in the title race.
