Rangers are ready to step up their move to sign an “unbelievable” midfielder.

Rangers are now ready to step up their move to sign Bobby Clark from Red Bull Salzburg when the summer transfer window opens.

The guards are ready to reinforce Clark’s movement

The reality of Danny Rohl’s career really kicked in against Celtic last weekend, as Rangers saw their title hopes dashed in week two when they bounced back. Questions have been raised about the manager’s future since then, but he was quick to stress that the 49ers still fully believe in his abilities.

Now it’s up to the 49ers to prove that support in the transfer window, perhaps starting with the former Liverpool gem. According to Football Insider, Rangers are ready to step up their move to sign Clark from Red Bull Salzburg, who is ready to accept a cut-price deal.

The 21-year-old has finally found his feet on loan at Derby County this season following a difficult spell in Salzburg. Now, the Rams are determined to compete with the Rangers and make a permanent deal — sparking the race.

It could leave Clark with a big decision to make. Not long ago it was reported that Celtic had just signed, but now it’s those at Ibrox who are pushing.

With £8m potentially freed up by the Gers’ decision to let Andreas Skov Olsen leave instead of triggering his buyout option, a name like Clark is not far behind them.

As an investment, the young midfielder is worth picking up this summer. Any doubts about his ability should be put to rest after his performance at Pride Park this season.

The Guardians must initiate Clark’s movements

With Derby sniffing, Rangers have no time to waste. They should start their move to sign Clark as soon as possible and welcome a star who could be at the center of their side for years to come.

His ability can be summed up by the praise he received from Jurgen Klopp. The former Liverpool boss told reporters: “Obviously, we have a team where everyone is needed. We are not like 25, 26 [key] the players. But on the other hand, it opens up opportunities, and I’m really happy with the guys Stefan [Bajcetic] and Bobby [Clark].”

“I’m not sure that they would be that close to the first team at the age of 17 if we could get them all. [the whole squad] available, and now they are taking real steps. It’s unbelievable, every day in training. So it’s good.”

As a pair, Clark and Nicolas Raskin will light up the Scottish Premiership. That partnership alone will make chasing the former’s signature all the more important.
