Leon Balogun and Cyriel Dessers combined to great effect as both players found the net in Rangers’ 3-0 victory over Aberdeen in the Scottish Premiership.

Balogun, who came off the bench, made an instant impact with a towering header in the 83rd minute to double Rangers’ lead. The defender later provided a perfect assist for Dessers, who calmly slotted home the third goal in stoppage time, sealing the win.

Rangers had earlier taken the lead through Hamza Igamane, who punished a defensive blunder by Sivert Heltne Nilsen with a composed finish. The hosts dominated proceedings, with Aberdeen goalkeeper Ross Doohan making crucial saves to deny Igamane and Danilo.

Aberdeen struggled to find a foothold, with their best chances coming from Leighton Clarkson’s audacious halfway-line attempt and Kevin Nisbet’s failure to connect with Graeme Shinnie’s cross.
