Rangers hectic schedule hasn’t just brought with it a range of quality results for the Ibrox side, but they’ve seen the proper introduction of Borna Barisic as a Rangers player.

The Croatian international full-back has largely struggled since joining from NK Osijek for £1.5m at the start of last season, with the player’s early Rangers career being interrupted by injury and a lack of form.

But now, Rangers appear to finally be on the verge of solving the club’s dilemma at left-back, and the Ibrox legions are very happy about it.

Rangers fans have been amongst some of the harshest critics of the Croatian, who has admitted himself he struggled with the physicality of the Scottish game [Daily Record].

Now emerging as the club’s first-choice left-back, the defender is growing in confidence as each game passes.

Rangers fans adopting Culture Club’s Karma Chameleon to the tune of Borna Barisic’s name will certainly be helping in that regard.

Left-back is a position Rangers have regularly been found wanting in under Steven Gerrard, who has experimented with Jon Flanagan, Andy Halliday and Borna Barisic in the position since taking over last year.

But with Borna Barisic revelling in his recent run of games, could we have finally found that outlet on the left to supplement James Tavernier on the right?
