Rangers ace Borna Barisic admits physical and mental exhaustion after World Cup

RANGERS defender Borna Barisic has admitted the World Cup exhausted him both physically and mentally after he was honoured by his home town following Croatia's bronze medal.

The full back only featured in one game during the tournament, but it was an important one as he played for 120 minutes as Croatia beat Japan in the Round of 16 after a penalty shootout.

Barisic is back in his homeland as Croatia celebrated their third-placed spot and he was one of three squad players, along with vice-captain Domagoj Vida and back-up keeper Ivica Ivusic, who are all from Osijek and were given another medal by their home city.
