Antonio Colak and the Rangers transfer 'reality' assessed by Michael Beale as striker handed Ibrox challenge

Rangers boss Michael Beale says Antonio Colak still has a future at Ibrox.

The Croatian striker has barely featured since he was appointed gaffer in November. Colak started the campaign on fire, scoring seven goals in his first nine games - then finishing on 17 in 38.

He’s warned the former PAOK hit-man, who was signed for £2 million a year ago, that he faces stiff competition for a starting slot. But the manager is refusing to write him off.
