Rangers need to target more players of Goncalo Borges' calibre

Gers should not be disheartened by missing out on Borges and should continue to target players of his calibre.

The 23-year-old possesses qualities that would have significantly enhanced their squad.

His pace, dribbling ability and potential to improve further make him an attractive prospect for Rangers.

While missing out on Borges is disappointing, it should not discourage the Ibrox outfit from pursuing similar targets.

The club's recruitment strategy should focus on identifying and signing players who fit their style of play and can make an impact in the Scottish Premiership and European competitions.

By targeting players of Borges' calibre, they can ensure that they continue to improve their squad and remain competitive at the highest level.

The hierarchy should remain proactive in identifying and such talents, even if it means facing competition from other clubs.
