# Rangers: Borna Barisic out of Scotland clash

**Croatia manager Zlatko Dalic has revealed Glasgow Rangers left-back Borna Barisic will not be available for his country’s final group stage Euro 2020 clash against Scotland.**

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

Barisic was selected as part of Croatia’s 26-man squad for the European Championships and had been expected to start on the left-side of the back four.

However, he was ruled out of the opening clash against England, and also did not feature against the Czech Republic at Hampden Park.

### **The Latest: Out of Scotland clash**

Now, Dalic has provided a further update on the 28-year-old. He said ([via Glasgow Live](https://www.glasgowlive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/borna-barisic-injury-update-rangers-20868140)):

> *“Borna has not trained with us for the last 5/6 days.*
>
> *“He has trained only twice recently so that hasn’t been sufficient for me to be sure he can play an entire match. He’ll be with us and he’ll be there though.”*

### **The Verdict: Crushing blow**

This will no doubt be a crushing blow for all involved. Barisic, who has 15 goals and 56 assists at club level throughout his career ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/borna-barisic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/39125)), has proven himself to be an attacking threat – that is something Croatia could do with considering they have scored just once so far during this tournament ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/teams/croatia/results)).

For Barisic, it will be even more disappointing given he plays in Scotland. It would have been a fantastic moment for him, but now he will only be there as a spectator. He will need to hope his side can get the right result on the pitch so that he can have a chance to play in the knockout stages.
