Borna Barisic was one of the many Rangers players representing his country during the international break. The Croatian started his nation’s game versus Slovakia, where he was on the winning side of a 3-1 scoreline.
Barisic managed to contribute to his team’s efforts by nagging himself an assist. It was his first assist for his national side (transfermarkt.co.uk). Rangers fans were some of the first to congratulate the left-back on his impressive performance. They are excited to see how confident he is going forward. According to them, he has improved considerably over the last year.
Absolute class he skinned the defender

Look how high up he was before even receiving the ball. That’s where he’s at his best, get the ball to him quickly, he’ll only have 1 player to beat.

He’s getting better and better every week

That’s the difference in barisic now to 12 months ago, he’s now got the confidence to get up and take a man on instead of always playing the safe pass backwards, I do also think his form has been helped with how strong our midfield has been

Some fans believe that his monetary value has grown as well as his skill. They think that bigger and richer clubs will inevitably start paying attention to the 27-year-old.
He looked good in second half. Another player whose stock is on the rise.

Another thing be bigger clubs must be looking at based on this form!

What do we think?
Despite there being an international break, Rangers fans still have the opportunity to watch their favourite players play. With the team flying under Steven Gerrard, the players are receiving plenty of opportunities to start for their nations. And Barisic has shown that, not only are they playing, they are making an impact as well.
