Nigerian international started up front for the Light Blues’ fourth pre-season match, but couldn’t find the net as Clement’s side suffered a 2-0 lossnto the Red Devils at Murrayfield.
Replaced by Danilo with 15 minutes to go along with nine other substitutes, Dessers had two efforts on goal blocked by Leny Yoro either side of forcing Andre Onana into an easy save with a shot on the turn.
Other than that though, the Gers’ number nine , and with the new campaign just weeks away from starting, it looks as if he’ll remain Clement’s
It’s difficult to read too much into pre-season friendly displays – and unwise to make definitive statements from them – but the Gers’ attacking options at Murrayfield laid the club’s lack of depth bare.
Danilo’s return from a potentially career-threatening injury is undoubtedly a positive sign, but the club simply cannot afford to go into the new campaign with just the Brazilian and Dessers to choose from.
