The forgotten Rangers star who could solve transfer problem as boss 'desperate' to confirm deal

Rangers boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst could turn to Nikola Katic as a transfer alternative according to Ibrox legend Barry Ferguson - as a move for Antonio Colak moves high on the priority list.

The Croatian forward has been heavily linked with a move to Ibrox this summer from Greek side PAOK after two goals for Malmo last summer helped dump Rangers out of the Champions League qualifiers. A fee of £1.8 million has been mooted but no deal is over the line yet in a summer where the Light Blues boss has only captured Scotland defender John Souttar, so far.

Ferguson is in no doubt that van Bronckhorst wants to get a deal for Colak over the line amid rumours star striker Alfredo Morelos is wanted over in Spain. In the defensive line, they have lost experienced centre-back Leon Balogun, but Katic could come in to fill the Nigerian's void.
