Antonio Colak is praying he can use his Rangers scoring form to book his place at Qatar as he believes Croatia can be World Cup shock troops all over again.
The striker, who was named the Premiership ’s player of the month for October, has netted an impressive 14 goals since his summer arrival at Ibrox. The 29-year-old has been named in Croatia’s preliminary squad for next month’s finals and is hoping he will make the final cut when Zlatko Dalic names his final roster next week.
Colak, who has three caps to his name, knows how much Croatia have with the likes of Luka Modric and co. They saw off hosts Russia, England and Denmark as they made it to the last World Cup Final before they were bravely beaten by France. Colak knows with Modric and the midfield quality his nation have then there is no reason why they can’t make a similar impact at this year’s finals in the Middle East.
