Rangers FC legend Ally McCoist has stated why he thinks the duo of Cyriel Dessers and Leon Balogun are indispensable to the team’s progress this season.
McCoist, who shared his view in a chat with Rangers Review said that leaving the two Super Eagles players, Balogun and Dessers, out of the starting lineup will be difficult.
The Rangers icon expressed his belief that both players should always be in the starting lineup for the Scottish side in light of their recent outstanding performances for Rangers in the Scottish League.

“The one thing to come of this now is I think Butland will play the next game, Balogun will play his next game and Dessers will also. I don’t think you can leave Balogun out now,” McCoist said, as quoted by Rangers Review.
“I take it a step further. I say Balogun in that performance is his No. 1 centre-back. Goldson might get back in but it’ll be for Souttar.”
Since he arrived from Italy last summer, Dessers has scored no fewer than 19 goals across all competitions for the Light Blues this season, while Balogun has made 14 appearances overall and accumulated 1,058 minutes of playing time this season for the Rangers.
