# Rangers: Hutton worried by Borna Barisic injury

**Ex-Glasgow Rangers defender Alan Hutton believes Borna Barisic’s injury could be bad news for the 55-time Scottish champions.**

### **The Lowdown: Barisic struggling**

Barisic is currently away on international duty with Croatia on international duty at the European Championships and was expected to be his country’s first-choice left-back.

However, he missed his side’s opening match against England, and boss Zlatko Dalic [revealed he had to have an MRI scan](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/rangers-gers-ibrox-steven-gerrard-borna-barisic-zlatko-dalic-scotland-england/).

### **The Latest: Hutton worried**

[Speaking to Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/hutton-raises-serious-rangers-fears-amid-nightmare-barisic-news/) after that news emerged, Hutton believes this injury issue could have a negative impact on the Gers going forward. He said:

> *“Your back and your knees are probably the worst places to injure.*
>
> *“Your back can come on with just a twist or a turn. It’s a bit of a nightmare injury so I do feel for him.*
>
> *“Obviously he had an excellent season going into this tournament and probably wanted to show the world his skill set.*
>
> *“Unfortunately, the back’s flared up again so from a Rangers point of view it’s not great. They would obviously want him to get over this issue and get ready and firing for the beginning of the season.*
>
> *“Hopefully it’s just a tweak and he’ll play some sort of part in the tournament.”*

### **The Verdict: Gerrard will be watching**

Of course, Steven Gerrard will have an eye on Barisic’s situation at Euro 2020. The 28-year-old has been hugely important for the Gers, and the 14 assists he managed in all competitions last term – he has 56 throughout his career ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/39125)) – show he plays a big role in his team’s attacking strategy.

At this point, it does not make sense to speculate too much until the results of the scan are clear. But from a Gers point of view, it may be best to hope Barisic does not play a part in this tournament so that he is ready for their Champions League qualifying campaign towards the end of July.
