Rangers fans are loving Nikola Katic’s reintroduction into the first-team in place of Joe Worrall.
The Croatian U21 international has started the Gers’ last four matches, brought back into the team by manager Steven Gerrard after a prolonged period on the sidelines.
Katic started the season as a regular alongside Connor Goldson but the loan signing of Worrall eventually ensured he would not see as much action in 2018/19 as he would have liked.
With Worrall heading back to parent club Nottingham Forest in the summer, the manager has taken the decision to drop the defender and fans have been delighted in the difference of defensive performances.
Katic looks to have real long-term potential and alongside Goldson is part of an exciting partnership that bodes well for next season.
Can he make the position his own beyond the summer transfer window?
These supporters have taken to Twitter to share their thoughts on his recent performances…
Btw another clean sheet for Katic & Goldson, I just wonder how different our season would’ve been had gaffer stuck with them & not the bombscare.

Katic has been brilliant since he came back in, better than Worrall and Goldson! Davis different class now that he’s fully fit

Dominant in the air. Needs improvement in distribution. Looks like he will get there though

Feel so much happier with Katic in there rather than Worrall – so much more comfortable on the ball, commanding and confident.
