Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is keen to see the player light up Ibrox. Grezda missed both legs of the Europa League second qualifying tie against the Ibrox side.

“He is an excellent player and the fans will love him because he can contribute in the final third,” Gerrard told the Rangers official website. “He’s really quick, very direct and he comes in with international experience.

“According to Borna and Nikola Katic he was by a mile Osijek’s best player last season.

“He is a very dangerous player and while you never want to see anyone injured, we are thankful he wasn’t available to play against us. All going well, hopefully he’ll be a big player for us moving forward.”

Meanwhile, Gerrard hinted at further additions.

“I’m always looking,” he said. “It doesn’t shut till 12 so there is plenty of time.”
