Nikola Katic has left Rangers for FC Zurich as his now former club bid him a heartfelt farewell.
The Croatian defender has been looking for a new employer this summer after a loan spell at Hadjuk Split in his native Croatia last season. Champions League side Maccabi Haifa had been linked as a potential landing spot for him but he has instead joined the Swiss champions, who will play Europa League group stage football this season after beating Hearts at the play-off stage.
Katic joined Rangers in 2018 but his progress in light blue was derailed by a serious knee problem and he was not able to reclaim his squad place. Marinko Jurendic, head of sport at FCZ, comments on the transfer of the centre-back: "In Nikola we were able to sign a central defender with international experience who will strengthen our defence with his physical presence, his header and his great personality."
