According to Football Scotland, Rangers have not yet approached RB Salzburg regarding the potential transfer of striker Petar Ratkov.

The 20-year-old Serbian, who is represented by the same agency as Borna Barisic, was linked to Ibrox even before his move to Austria last summer, as reported on August 1.

Rangers’ interest in Ratkov raises questions about their transfer strategy. Despite Ratkov’s potential, the team urgently needs experienced goal-scorers in their prime to compete at the highest level. The club’s recent difficulties in scoring emphasize the need for a reliable and prolific forward who can consistently deliver.

Ratkov’s talent is evident, but as a developing player, he might not immediately provide the impact Rangers need. Given the demands of Scottish football and the need for immediate results, the club should focus on signing a seasoned forward capable of making an immediate difference.

In other Rangers news, Chris Jack has reported a £12.6 million transfer claim, linking the club with a significant move for a new attacker.
