Former Rangers and Kilmarnock keeper Robby McCrorie admits he's thrilled at signing for Croatian high-fliers Varazdin.

The 28-year-old has completed a surprise move to the club, which currently sit second in the Croatian League and will become only the second-ever Scottish player to feature in the country, after Scotland international defender Scott McKenna.

McCrorie spent last season in Denmark with Esbjerg, before opting to sign a two-year deal with Varazdin, who finished third last season.

He said: "My first impressions of the club were excellent.

"There is a family atmosphere at the club, everyone gives their all and I believe that Varazdin is the right choice for me.

"I have spoken to several former teammates about the Croatian League and I come here with a very good feeling.

"This is an ambitious club that is improving from season to season and striving for the top of the table.

"We have a strong team and I will give my maximum to help them achieve all their goals."

McCrorie holds an unusual claim to fame - he's been booked with Scotland, but has yet to play for them. He was shown a yellow card on the bench when he was part of the Scotland squad for a Nations League match against Ukraine.
