Antonio Colak learns Croatia World Cup fate as Celtic and Rangers represented in final squad

Antonio Colak has MISSED out on Croatia's final squad for the World Cup.

But there is room for Celtic and Rangers representation in the form of Josip Juranovic and Borna Barisic who have both made the cut for the finals in Qatar later this month. The Hoops full-back has been a regular for Zlakto Dalic in the national team with his postition in the squad already stated as 'unquestionable' with his boss previously saying: "The candidates for right back in Qatar are Juranovic and Stanisic. Juranovic's place for the World Cup squad is unquestionable."

Colak has been in stunning form for Rangers since his summer arrival from PAOK. He's been a real gem for Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side notching 14 goals in 23 games. However, it's not enough to land himself a place in the final selection after being named in the provisional squad. Team-mate Barisic however makes the cut looking to add to his Euro 2020 appearance against Scotland at another major international tournament.
