‘Good News’ ‘Like Having A New Player’ Fans Delighted To See Rangers Star On Comeback Trail

Rangers centre-back Nikola Katic has shared a picture of himself on an exercise bike as he documents his long, arduous return from a serious knee injury.

Manager Steven Gerrard confirmed last month that the Croatian won’t be back until preseason following a setback in his recovery, but it appears the defender is doing all he can to come back sooner.

Katic will likely miss a whole year of football after sustaining the injury last summer and supporters on Twitter feel it will be like having a new signing when he is available for selection again:

Even when Katic does get back to full fitness, though, he is going to have a hell of a battle on his hands getting into the starting lineup. The Gers have been watertight defensively this season with Conor Goldson, Filip Helander and Leon Balogun playing superbly well.

With Jack Simpson having also arrived from Bournemouth in January, Katic will be aware that he’ll need to show the manager he merits being considered a regular starter once again.
