The Gers striker hit the net 29 times across 55 games in all competitions for the Light Blues
But the season ended trophyless for Dessers and Gers, as Celtic won a league and League Cup double with Aberdeen claiming the Scottish Cup.
Dessers ended the last 12 months with a personal high as he tied the knot with longtime partner Rosalie de Ruysscher.
The Nigeria international, 30, and brunette Rosalie wed on Saturday at Montalbano in southern Italy.
Dessers spent a year with Italian club Cremonese before moving to Ibrox in 2023.
He has since hit 51 goals in 109 Gers appearances.
Footage of the wedding reception shows Rosalie and a tuxedo-clad Dessers smiling and waving as they parade through rows of tables.
Meanwhile guests wave their napkins in tribute to the couple.
The film bears the caption: "Doing it the Italian way."
Dessers was born in the Belgian city Tongeren. He has played for Belgian Pro League clubs Leuven, Lokeren and Genk.
SunSport reporters clash over Russell Martin as he's revealed as new Rangers boss
The eight-cap international also had spells with four Dutch sides, including Utrecht and Feyenoord, before moving to Italy in 2022 prior to his arrival in Scotland.
Dessers scored on international duty with Nigeria a fortnight ago in the Unity Cup, held in London.
And he's been the subject of reported interest from Greece ahead of the summer transfer window.
Super League giants AEK Athens have emerged as potential suitors for the frontman.
La Liga outfit Leganes, Serie A clubs Cagliari and Empoli and Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne have also been credited with interest in the past few months.
Meanwhile, Philippe Clement has opened up on what went on behind the scenes that led to his Rangers exit.
The Belgian was sacked in February and has now been replaced by Russell Martin, wit Barry Ferguson having served as interim boss.
Clement revealed that he feared for his job immediately after the Premier Sports Cup final loss to Celtic.
He said: "I had a feeling, a bad feeling, after the League Cup final.
"I think it was a vital game.
"If we had won, there would have been more patience with the fans also and the board could have stayed much calmer."

Celtic 'eye' move for 16-goal international attacker
The 23-year-old, currently with Danish club Nordsjaelland, is said to be on Brendan Rodgers' radar. With Nygren's contract set to expire in six months, he could be available for as little as £2 million, according to SunSport. Read more: However, Celtic face competition from Anderlecht and Copenhagen for the versatile forward. Nygren, who can play as a number 10 or on the wings, has been in impressive form. Last season, he scored 16 goals and provided four assists in 32 appearances for Nordsjaelland. He has also earned four caps for Sweden, scoring twice for his national side. Given his decision not to renew his contract at Nordsjaelland, a move seems likely. Celtic have also been linked with Callum Osmand, Nilson Angulo, Sondre Orjasaeter, and Michel-Ange Balikwisha.

Celtic 'eye' cut-price move for 16-goal Sweden international
The 23-year-old plies his trade for Danish top-tier outfit Nordsjaelland. Nygren is on Brendan Rodgers' radar, claims SunSport, who say that he could be available for as little as £2 million, given that he is out of contract in just six months. Read more: It is said that Celtic face competition from the likes of Anderlecht and Copenhagen to sign the creative forward.

He scored 16 goals and assisted four in 32 Nordsjaelland appearances last season as they finished fifth in the Superligaen. Nygren has also registered four Sweden caps, scoring twice for his country. He has confirmed that he won't renew his contract at Nordsjaelland, which expires at the end of the calendar year. Celtic have been linked with a raft of players over the past 24 hours and more. Callum Osmand has reportedly agreed terms on a move to Parkhead, with the likes of Nilson Angulo, Sondre Orjasaeter and Michel-Ange Balikwisha all said to be of interest to the Scottish Premiership champions.

Defender Service joins Edinburgh City
Ambitious Edinburgh City have added another player to their squad ahead of the new Scottish League Two campaign. Defender Jake Service (pictured) has put pen to paper on a deal and the centre-half comes to the Meadowbank club after playing in the Lowland League for The University of Stirling for the last four years. Stranraer-born Service was part of the team which last season played Dundee United in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup at Tannadice in January 2023. United won 3-0 thanks to goals from Aussie full-back Aziz Behich after 45 minutes, Jamie McGrath with an overhead kick after 68 and a lob from Greg Middleton in 81 minutes. The university side won the East of Scotland Cup in season 2023/24 against Edinburgh City and he reunites with former team-mate, James Stokes, who scored the winning goal in that game. An Edinburgh City spokesman confirmed this is the first time that the 23-year-old has played at Scottish Professional Football League level. Like this: Like Related
