Rangers defender Borna Barisic has claimed now Scotland are out of Euro 2020 there will only be one team Gers fans will be cheering on – Croatia.
In comments which will have bluenoses everywhere donning the white and red check of the Balkans nation, Barisic was speaking after he recovered from injury to play against Scotland.
The marauding left-back entered the tournament with a back injury and missed Croatia’s first two matches against England and the Czech Republic.
But after rival full-back Joško Gvardiol went down injured against Scotland Barisic was back on the pitch and hopefully, back in the tournament.
With Scotland now out of the Euros, Barisic and Croatia are preparing to face Spain on Monday the 28th in what promises to be a tough test in Copenhagen’s Parken Stadium.
But unequivocally Borna, 28, believes that the Rangers fans will be giving the Croats their full backing when they take to the field against the Spaniards.
Borna was invited to speak as part of the Croatian national team’s official media duties and whilst the conversation is in Croatian, there’s been some translation.
As quoted by Croatian Football News, Barisic said: “Rangers’ fans will from now on support Croatia”
Ahead of the nation’s last 16 clash this coming Monday, yes Borna, absolutely yes we will.
The defender played in a whopping 50 games for the Gers last season, netting five goals and laying on another 14 assists for the team.
Whilst Borna is yet to start at Euro 2020, might that be a good thing for Rangers as clubs reportedly swirl around the Croatian?
