Cyriel Dessers hits hat-trick as Rangers breeze past Fraserburgh in Scottish Cup.

Rangers striker Cyriel Dessers scored a hat-trick as the Light Blues eased into the fifth round of the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup with a 5-0 win over Fraserburgh at Ibrox.

Despite the Gers’ almost total domination, the Highland League side held firm until the 27th minute. When the 30-year-old Nigeria international head in from a corner. Having earlier missed an open goal.

French defender Clinton Nsiala scored his first Rangers goal in his fourth appearance for the club six minutes into the second half and then Dessers, linked with Leganes, St Etienne, Cagliari and Empoli in this transfer window after falling behind Hamza Igamane and injured Danilo in the pecking order, added a third five minutes later.

The attacker set up Ross McCausland for a fourth with 15 minutes remaining then completed his hat-trick at the end.

The fixture allowed manager Philippe Clement to rest a clutch of players with one eye on Thursday’s Europa League tie against Manchester United at Old Trafford where, with 11 points from six games, qualification hopes are still very much alive.

Northern Irish goalkeeper Mason Munn, แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ 18, made his debut in one of seven changes made by Clement, while Zak Lovelace, also 18, started in attack

Skipper James Tavernier returned along with Connor Barron, Nedim Bajrami, Dessers and McCausland, who forced a save from visiting keeper Joe Barbour with a drive after just 30 seconds.

The Broch were penne in and in the seventh minute Dessers missed a sitter. Somehow failing to hit the open goal from a few yards out. After set up by McCausland.

Fraserburgh could not get out of their own half and their resistance broken. When Tavernier’s looping corner from the right found Dessers unmarked 10 yards from goal and he headed in his 14th goal of the season.
