# Rangers: Gerrard shares Borna Barisic news

**Steven Gerrard has revealed that Borna Barisic is unlikely to be available for Glasgow Rangers’ final game of the season against Aberdeen on Saturday.**

### **The Lowdown: Gers chase history**

Although the Premiership title has long been won, Rangers are still chasing a notable piece of history. If they avoid defeat against the Dons, they will have gone the whole league campaign unbeaten ([BBC](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/scottish-premiership/table)), the [first time they will have done so](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/rangers-record-breaking-achievements-can-24077786) in more than 120 years of existence.

At Ibrox, the Rangers players will also lift the trophy today, with fans expected to gather across Glasgow to celebrate the achievement.

### **The Latest: Barisic potentially unavailable**

Unfortunately, it seems that left-back Barisic will be unable to feature. Speaking during his pre-match press conference, [Gerrard said](https://twitter.com/RangersFC/status/1393120569361637376):

> *“Arfield is training this morning, an outside chance for Saturday. Barisic is unlikely to feature. Other than that the team news is the same as the other day.”*

### **The Verdict: Crying shame**

While this match is of little importance in the grand scheme of things, it is a shame that Barisic will be unable to play on a day of joy for the 55-time Scottish champions. During what has been a fantastic campaign, the Croatia international has been a reliable option on the left side of the back four, while he has contributed going forward by scoring five goals and providing 14 assists ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/leistungsdaten/spieler/39125)).

With Calvin Bassey unable to play as he continues to [serve his ban for breaking lockdown regulations earlier this year](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56843698), it is unclear who will feature in place of £4.95m-valued Barisic ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/39125)). It would have been a far easier decision for Gerrard had the Croatian been available.
