Glasgow Rangers fans will have got their first glimpse of Borna Barisic in training after he completed his move to Ibrox.

Rangers have posted a series of images showing the club’s latest signing Borna Barisic training with his new side for the very first time since he completed his move to Ibrox.

Barisic became Steven Gerrard’s latest signing on Tuesday, with BBC Sport reporting that the 25-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Gers after the Scottish Premiership side agreed a £2.2 million fee with Croatian side Osijek – who Gerrard’s men knocked out of the Europa League qualifiers last week.

Barisic made an impression on the Light Blues as he scored Osijek’s goal in the second-leg to set up a nervy couple of minutes with Rangers 2-1 ahead of aggregate. The home side would see the game out and set up a tie with Maribor for this week.

Barisic will be hoping that he can get another taste of the Ibrox atmosphere as soon as possible, and it appears that Gerrard is looking to get him involved as quickly as he can.

Steven Gerrard is unveiled as the new manager of Rangers football Club at Ibrox Stadium on May 4, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The left-back was featured in a number of training ground snaps the club posted on social media just hours after his move to Ibrox was confirmed this week.

It is not clear yet when Gerrard plans to hand Barisic his debut, but the fact that he is already working with the rest of the squad certainly hints that the Rangers boss is happy with his fitness and sharpness following his switch.
