Cyriel Dessers played a crucial role in Rangers' 3-0 victory over Dundee, scoring twice to help his team reach the Scottish League Cup semi-finals. James Tavernier also contributed with a goal during the match at Ibrox. Trevor Carson initially saved Dessers' shot in the 18th minute, but Dessers quickly reacted to score from Tavernier's rebound.

Oluwaseun Adewumi had an opportunity to equalise before halftime, but Jack Butland's timely intervention preserved Rangers' lead. Just after the break, Dessers won a penalty when he was fouled during a corner. Tavernier confidently converted the spot-kick to extend their advantage. Butland later showcased his skills with a double-save against Simon Murray's close-range attempts.

Dessers completed the scoring in the 66th minute by expertly finishing Nedim Bajrami's cross past Carson. This performance highlighted Rangers' attacking prowess and defensive solidity, as they maintained control throughout the match.

This win marks another clean sheet for Rangers, who have conceded only once in their last seven domestic matches. Their only loss came against Celtic in a 3-0 defeat during the Old Firm derby. Against Dundee, Rangers faced minimal threats, with Butland making just two significant saves from five shots.

Rangers are building momentum this season with consistent performances both offensively and defensively. Their ability to maintain clean sheets has been a key factor in their success so far.
