Athletic Bilbao head coach Ernesto Valverde has identified Cyriel Dessers and Vaclav Cerny as key dangermen ahead of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final showdown with Rangers. +
+
Valverde praised Rangers’ attacking qualities and dynamic play, noting their ability to compete with any side left in the competition. "They’ve got a good team. They move well across the pitch, very fast," he observed, citing the Scottish side’s versatility and quick transitions. +

Valverde specifically highlighted the threat posed by Dessers and Cerny, stating that both players add a cutting edge to Rangers’ front line. "Players like Dessers and Cerny, who can play well. They can compete with any team," he remarked. +
+
Despite Rangers’ inconsistent home form in recent outings, Valverde remains cautious, [calling](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/karim-adeyemi-shows-love-for-nigeria-despite-representing-germany/) a trip to Ibrox "a big challenge". He acknowledged Rangers' experience, including their near miss in the 2022 Europa League final in Seville. +
+
The quarter-final tie promises to be a fierce encounter, with both clubs a place in the semi-finals. Valverde’s comments underline the respect Rangers command on the European stage—particularly with [Dessers leading](http://wiki.votesmart.org/FreduiInmanem) the line. +

Editorial +
+
European nights are built on reputation, resilience, and respect and Rangers have clearly earned theirs. When a seasoned tactician like Ernesto Valverde singles out your players as key threats, it [speaks volumes](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/international-nigerian-footballers/). And for Cyriel Dessers, this spotlight is further proof that his hard work is being noticed on the continent. +
+
Valverde’s admiration wasn’t flattery it was calculated caution. He’s preparing his Bilbao side for a team that has evolved in both structure and spirit. Rangers, just three years removed from a heartbreaking Europa League final loss, are once again among Europe’s elite, and they’re not there by chance. +
+
Dessers has become more than a striker for Rangers. He’s their spearhead, their physical presence, and their relentless runner. Alongside Vaclav Cerny, who brings finesse and unpredictability, the duo gives [Rangers](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/player-profiles/anaemena-celebrates-third-npfl-title-after-remo-stars-landmark-victory/) a multifaceted attack that few [defences](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:CecileSchrader1) in this [competition](https://cac5.altervista.org/index.php?title=Utente:DaniMather) relish facing. +
+
But what’s most important here is recognition. Nigerian players like Dessers are not only participating in Europe’s top fixtures they’re shaping them. And while the [Ibrox faithful](https://gummipuppen-wiki.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:RaymondX03) will roar for a win, fans back home should celebrate the fact that our own are key figures in Europe’s biggest nights. +
[ +
Valverde's analysis sets the tone for a thrilling tie. But beyond tactics and match-ups, this is a moment of validation for Rangers, for Dessers, and for every player grinding towards greatness. +
+
Did You Know? + + Cyriel Dessers was the top scorer in the 2021/22 UEFA Europa Conference League while playing for Feyenoord. + Rangers have reached the Europa League final twice most recently in 2022, losing on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt. + Ernesto Valverde previously managed Barcelona, leading them to two La Liga titles and a Copa del Rey. + Ibrox Stadium has a UEFA rating of four stars and is one of the most atmospheric grounds in European football. + Vaclav Cerny, though Czech by nationality, came through the Ajax youth academy, known for producing world-class attacking players. + +
