The transfer window may have shut in Scotland, however, there are still leagues around the world able to do business and Dinamo Zagreb are considering a late deal for Borna Barisic.
The Croatian market closes on the 8th of September, so there is still time should an offer land on Michael Beale’s desk.
With just a year left on his contract, the report by Germanijak.hr, suggests that Dinamo Zagreb have made contact but are willing to wait until January to land Borna Barisic if needs be.
The 30-year old left-back missed the Old Firm defeat with a hamstring issue but he has been passed fit to report for international duty.

The 31-cap defender is our most creative player this season with four assists, a damning indictment on our current system and style of play, but also an indication that Barisic remains one of the best crossers of a ball from open play.
Then there is his contract situation.
Being able to discuss a pre-contract agreement means that Rangers have to do one of three things.
Sell him now or in January.
Offer a new contract.
Do nothing and let his contract run out.
There is still value in a player of Barisic’s reputation.
He has been trusted by his country in major tournaments and has extensive European experience too.
The last thing Dinamo Zagreb will take into consideration is what the Rangers fans think of Borna Barisic.
