Maccabi Haifa are reportedly considering a move for Niko Katic in a move that would guarantee the defender Champions League football against the likes of Lionel Messi.
The Croatian centre-back has been told he is free to leave Rangers this summer having fallen well down the defensive pecking order under Giovanni van Bronckhorst. He spent last season on-loan at Hajduk Split after recovering from a serious long-term knee injury. With the transfer deadline approaching, there's been little in the way of news over the 25-year-old's future, but that could be about to change.
Reports from Israel say Maccabi have enquired about the defender with a view to either a loan move or permanent deal, with Rangers likely preferring the latter. If he were to sign for the Israeli champions, Katic would face a huge career test against the superstars of Paris Saint-Germain when the group stage kicks off in September.
