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 The Belgian was sacked in February and has now been replaced by Russell Martin, wit Barry Ferguson having served as interim boss.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."

Tijjani Reijnders is £46million Man City signing who worked in ALDI and is named after legendary winger
TRANSFER SUPERMARKET Tijjani Reijnders is £46million Man City signing who worked in ALDI and is named after legendary winger TIJJANI REIJNDERS is perfectly placed to lead Manchester City's £130million supermarket sweep. The versatile midfielder used to stack shelves in Aldi but is now the first signing of a huge summer for Pep Guardiola. 11 Tijjani Reijnders is joining Manchester City from AC Milan for £45m Credit: Getty 11 The midfielder used to work in Aldi Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 He is a midfielder who can do a bit of everything Credit: Getty Reijnders, 26, idolises Kevin De Bruyne and will now be tasked with filling the gaping void left by the Belgian superstar. When the Netherlands international joined Milan he was asked about his rise to the top and said: "I recently noticed an article 'from amateur to AC Milan'. "But when I think about it, I like 'from Aldi to AC Milan' even better!" Aldi to Manchester City will have an even better ring to it for Guardiola's new midfield general. READ MORE ON FOOTBALL GUNNER GO Arsenal release 17 players as Sterling and Partey learn their fate It is quite the challenge for the midfielder, though he arrives with some stellar references. Milan and Netherlands great Frank Rijkaard is convinced Reijnders is destined for the top. Speaking earlier this season, he said: "I hope that Reijnders becomes one of the best midfielders in the world… I sincerely believe he's already on the right path. "I really like his style of play. He can cover all roles in the midfield and shows his generosity: he never holds back from a run for the team and always gives his best. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS "With the quality he has, he's excellent at creating dangerous chances for his teammates and setting up the play well." Reijnders can bring a bit of everything to a Manchester City midfield in need of a shot in the arm. Kevin De Bruyne given emotional Etihad send off as Man City take huge leap towards return to Champions League The former AZ Alkmaar man made more interceptions than any other midfielder in Serie A this season as well as creating the most chances from open play. He may not have the craft of De Bruyne when it comes to creating chances - there are few, if any, who do - but Reijnders can also find the back of the net. Milan's maestro bagged 15 goals from midfield this term - two more than any other midfielder in the Italian top flight. Reijnders' path to the top has been carefully plotted, aided by his father and agent, Martin - a former player himself who was a team-mate of Jaap Stam at Dutch side Zwolle. The family clearly planned a footballing career for their son from day one, naming him Tijjani after former Nigerian winger, Tijani Babangida. Younger brother Eliano also plays for his father's former side, Zwolle. Martin revealed after sealing Tijjani's move to Milan that the pair had decided to turn down Barcelona in order to join the Rossoneri. Barca were on the lookout for an heir to Sergio Busquets and Reijnders' father made the brave and bold decision to tell his son that he was not quite up to the task. 11 Reijnders' parents named their son after former Ajax and Nigeria winger Tijani Babangida Credit: Getty 11 His brother Eliano plays for Zwolle Credit: Alamy 11 Reijnders is hoping to fill the void left behind by Kevin De Bruyne Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders He told Dutch outlet Algemeen Dagblad: "I immediately told Tijjani, 'You are not that type of player. Before you know it, you'll end up on the bench. And you'd become yet another player who fails abroad.'" There was Premier League interest two years ago, but Reijnders has rapidly developed in Milan and now feels prepared to take his biggest step yet. As well as carefully planning his progression, Reijnders has studied fellow players to add as much to his game as possible. Speaking to The Athletic, Reijnders said: 'When I got older, I looked a lot at Kevin De Bruyne. I watched his games, YouTube clips. 'Especially the way he was scanning the pitch before he gets the ball so he always knows where the space is. "I try to do the same.' Before looking to add elements of De Bruyne to his game, City's new man carefully studied another Guardiola stalwart in Andres Iniesta. There are few deals which can be a sure thing, not every signing is as obvious as Erling Haaland. But in Reijnders, Manchester City look to have identified a player capable of grabbing hold of a game who is primed to slot straight into a Guardiola side. 11 Reijnders has an eye for goal Credit: Getty 11 He is married to Marina Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 They welcomed baby son Xavien in February 2024 Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders 11 The family regularly post snaps on social media Credit: instagram @tijjanireijnders

Red Bull star drives F1 car on Premier League pitch in race against footballers
Red Bull not only owns one of the most successful Formula 1 teams on the grid, but it also has a significant stake in Leeds United which enjoyed promotion back to the Premier League this season Formula 1 racers tend to avoid driving on grass at all costs. But a Red Bull racing machine has proven it can dominate even on a slippery green surface – after going up against a trio of Premier League footballers. Three stars from Leeds United invited Red Bull academy driver to Elland Road for a man vs machine contest. Willy Gnonto, Largie Ramazani and Isaac Schmidt took on the RB7, which won the 2011 Formula 1 title with Sebastian Vettel, which was driven by Formula 2 starlet Arvid Lindblad. The terms of the race were simple – they had to race from one penalty box to the other, turn around and then come back again. The car obviously has a lot more speed than the footballers, but the slippery grass and 180-degree turn made it a fair fight. The Leeds players got off to the better start, immediately finding their footing while the Red Bull struggled for traction. But once Lindblad got the racing machine going there would be no stopping it. The F1 car won the race at a canter, with a winning margin of around 30 yards despite the best effort of the Leeds players. They had come up with the idea for the race after attending the British Grand Prix last year, but were a man light for the challenge with pacy forward Dan James, who had hoped to take part, out injured. Leeds winger Ramazani, who contributed six goals and two assists as the Yorkshire club won the EFL Championship title this season, said: "This was a great experience, I wish we could do this every day with Red Bull. The only thing better would be getting in the car. I love F1. "I went to the Monaco Grand Prix last week, which was a bucket list moment for me. I used to play F1 games on the console when I was younger, so it was surreal to be next to a real car and race against it." The Belgian went on to express his belief that Wales international James would have had a better shot of beating the car. He added: "Before the race I was scared, but I was confident too. I think we did great, but in the end the car was just too quick. I think one of the players involved in this idea was Dan James. Unfortunately, he's been injured, but I'd back my team-mate over that car any day. DJ would smoke this car!" It was also something a little different for British racer Lindblad, racing this season in F2 and who is likely to be the next Red Bull graduate to make it to F1. The 17-year-old said: "Ahead of the race I was a bit nervous. I'd never driven on grass and had no idea how it would go. "The car has a ton of horsepower and there is not much grip on grass, so I wasn't sure if I could go full throttle and turn the car properly. It was great fun to challenge my skills and compete against other sports people. I admire what Leeds have done this year and wish them well for next season too."
