Borna Barisic has been a hit-and-miss signing by Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers.
Rangers youngster James Maxwell has revealed during a Twitter Q & A that he models his game on Borna Barisic.
The Croatia international signed for the Gers in a £2.2 million deal from Osijek last summer.
And the 17-year-old talent, who can play left-back and midfield, has said that he looks up to Barisic for his attacking quality.
I would say Borna Barisic for his attacking quality.

The players who have helped me are Greg Docherty and Andy Halliday. They both really helped me when I trained with the first team.https://t.co/wRdqdrrKbm
It's a surprising choice by Maxwell, given that the player hasn't exactly been a huge success in Glasgow, but it might illustrate how good Barisic is on the training ground.
He scored a fine free kick in Rangers' senior side last month to inject new life into his Ibrox career, and manager Steven Gerrard revealed afterwards that he has seen plenty of evidence of his set-piece specialty at Auchenhowie.
According to Transfermarkt, Maxwell only officially joined the Gers' academy in July and it'll be interesting to see how he fares over the coming years.
Rangers have a number of quality young players in the ranks and time will tell whether the youngster is apart of that going forward.
