Marko Nikolic’s side have yet to come back with an improved offer but are monitoring the situation ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, according to Record Sport.
Panathinaikos are keen on signing Dessers, and view him as the ideal replacement for Leeds United-bound striker Fotis Ioannidis.
The former hitman has missed the Ibrox side’s last three games with a knee injury.
He was however included in Rangers’ traveling party for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff tie against Belgian Pro League side, Club Brugge.
