After Rangers’ loss to Benfica, Cyriel Dessers share’s what was said in the team’s locker room.

He added that the Ibrox home dressing room was generally filled with pride following the game, and that the performance could be looked back on with pride.

“We still have two months left. It’s one enormous shove. After the international break, we just need to keep going.

“We were talking about it in the shower; the match against Benfica was really intense.” The game was moving at such a fast speed. However, it’s evident to all that we’re really hungry, physically fit, and just want more.

“We want to press on and not give up. Yes, we will. After a time, especially against a strong club like Benfica, you start to feel your legs.

Then again, there’s this fan synergy. They uplift us. As you take the corner, you can feel the excitement in the stadium. That provides us with the drive to keep going. We require that from our fans

“It is crucial for us to remain at the top of the league heading into the international break.” The bright side is that you will, in my opinion, have a really strong performance on Thursday. Regretfully, we had to leave Europe, but we did so with a proud performance.

This ought to instill confidence in us. We must use the game’s positives as motivation to play hard once more. This season, the league is the top priority. To that end, we must exert every effort.

This season, we have a ton of things to play for. It’s something we know very well in the changing area. It’s encouraging that this team has the experience to go back to Dundee and build on the victory on Thursday.
“Beautiful things are possible if we can bring the level we’ve demonstrated in Europe to the league and the cup.”
