The pair made the move to Ibrox from Croatian outfit Osijek in the summer and put pen-to-paper on four-year deals with the Light Blues. Left-back Barisic has impressed when given his chance by boss Gerrard but injuries have prevented him putting together a sustained run of performances this term. He missed the festive fixtures with Hibernian and celtic but joined up with the Gers at their winter training base in Tenerife last week. Grezda, meanwhile, has struggled to prove himself and has been in and out of the team so far as youngster Glenn Middleton has been the back-up option to wingers Daniel Candeias and Ryan Kent. The Albanian is waiting to discover the extent of a knock picked up in training on Thursday and will continue to be assessed by Rangers’ medical team. And boss Gerrard is keen to see the duo make an impression at Ibrox in the coming weeks and months. He said: “Borna has had a lot of injuries and Grezda came injured. This trip is almost like a reset button for both of them and need to use the next two weeks as a mini pre-season to get their bodies ready to cope with the physical demands of Scotland and the regular game schedule. “There’s no doubt both have got quality. Borna has shown that regularly when he’s played but we haven’t had him fit enough so he needs to get more robust. “Grezda has got it all to prove. He needs to push himself to prove to everyone he’s capable of being a Rangers player. “First and foremost he needs to win a shirt because at the moment the players who played against celtic have got the shirts and rightly so. “He has to show to us in the coming weeks that he wants to win a shirt back and when he gets his opportunity take it and find consistency.” 👏👏👏👏👏 Well said gaffer.

El-Hadji Spit RFC 733 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 There’s nothing in grezdas play that has impressed so far, I get the whole settling in argument but you’d expect to see touches of class in his game by now. That being said I did think the same about Kent before he found his feet. Cedrick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMax399 3,631 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Just a paper spouting off probably trying to fill space. Barisic has shown quality when fit, so no Issues with him. Grezda less so, and needs to improve drastically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sket 13,610 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Grezda so far has been fucking shite for the most part,looks like a complete waste of money. For me,he's miles behind young Middleton who has been brilliant at times. Barasic looks capable if he could stay fit and get a run in the team Gascoigne8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudrupsleftfoot 10,586 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Grezda looks like he can work hard and isn't shy of a tackle when tracking back, but there's no evidence he's going to be the "how the fuck did we get him" player many thought he was going to be.

hammer time 653 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Any player on our books that saw or heard the last match at Ibrox and doesn’t want to be part of that should just leave now. Hopefully both can push on and make an impact in the second half of the season WATP-FOREVER, CoatbridgeBear and Cedrick 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Grezda is much better on the right and cutting inside to pass and move or shoot. Middleton started really well but has faded, defenders have sussed him for now but he will improve, I don't have any doubts about that because he is a great wee player and seems to be keen to learn. The gaffer has nailed it here, Barasic has looked good but he needs to learn to cope with the physical demands and stay fit. Grezda has a lot to prove but I reckon next season he will be ready to really make his mark, well at least I hope he is. gazza27 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
