Russell Martin issues major Rangers transfer update on Dessers and Chermiti

Russell Martin says Cyriel Dessers is set to leave Rangers before tomorrow's transfer deadline. 

The striker started on the bench for his side in their goalless draw against arch-rivals Celtic this afternoon. 

Dessers came on with 18 minutes to go, and it was likely to be his final outing in light blue. 

"I think Cyriel has probably played his last game for the club," Martin told Sky Sports post-match.

"It's good business for us, it's good for him, the stage he's at in his career. 

"I don't know what's going to happen in the next 24 hours with the rest of our guys."

Martin was then asked about Youssef Chermiti. Rangers have been widely linked with a move for the Everton striker. 

"I think we're close to a couple," said Martin.

"I only spoke to Kevin this morning, and we haven't had a chance to catch up since. It's one we're very hopeful of concluding and getting done."

The transfer window shuts in Scotland at 11pm tomorrow.
