Rangers star Antonio Colak discovered Croatia World Cup KO on TV as he opens up on heartache

Antonio Colak has opened up on his World Cup heartbreak and admitted he found out about his squad snub on TV.

The Rangers star was in good goal scoring form and hoped to join team-mate Borna Barisic as part of the Croatia World Cup squad for Qatar 2022. Former Celtic star Josip Juranovic joined the Light Blues full-back in the pool but it wasn't good news for the former PAOK man.

And to make matters worse for the 29-year-old, he says head coach Zlatko Dalic didn't even make contact to deliver the news to him and he only found out he would be staying at home after watching the squad announcement being made live on an internet stream. His country would go on to have a majorly successful time at the finals and finish third and secure bronze medals. The run included a memorable quarter-final win over Brazil.
