Borna Barisic believes the personal touch of Michael Beale’s man-management can inspire his Rangers players to new heights.
The defender benefited from Beale ordering him to take a rare few days off to visit his baby son back in Croatia. Time with little Stipe, named after Barisic’s father, had been limited for the left-back since his birth last month. But he made it back over Easter to his homeland and said: “I’m glad that there’s a good person here in Mick.
“He understands everything about your family life. He said I need to be there to be to be a father, so he gave me a couple of days. It means a lot. We had a good relationship before. From the first moment Mick came, I began to feel much happier than before. I like him, his style of play, the way he treats me. He has that feeling about the important things in life and knows when a player maybe has to go home for a few days.
