While speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast (31 May, 09:08am), the two presenters debated names of ‘unlucky finishers’ from listeners with Dessers being one of those.
Townsend wasn’t holding back as he said: “He’s just a bad finisher.”
McCoist wasn’t prepared to bite on that comment as he moved on quickly to another topic, but not before a quick response.
This was the second-highest fee paid by the club across both transfer windows with Danilo being the most expensive at £6m
With that being said, he has to be held to the standards of the fee that was paid and it could be argued he has played to a good standard.
With over 20 goals in all competitions, as a striker, there isn’t much more that he can do to prove himself as a finisher.
In the Scottish Premiership, the only Rangers player to score more than him is James Tavernier who takes set pieces and penalties. Take out his spot kicks and he has just five league goals [FotMob].
This would put Dessers at the top of the goalscoring charts for the club by five goals above Abdallah Sima who scored 11.
