But the latest news in Scotland suggests Rangers have finally ‘made contact’ over what would be the first Ibrox signing of the January transfer window.

Rangers ‘make contact’ over Nikola Katic return

Daily Record journalist Keith Jackson has claimed that Rangers have ‘made contact’ over a sensational return for Nikola Katic.

The Bosnian international centre-back, 28, left Rangers for FC Zurich back in 2022 and has spent the last two and a half years in Switzerland.

The last few days have been dominated by reports surrounding Rangers and Nikola Katic, with sources close to the defender claiming the centre-back would relish a return to Ibrox.

“We’ve had nothing concrete yet but we’ve seen some stories in the media and of course, Niko would like it a lot if he could return to Rangers,” claimed the source.

“We are currently in negotiations with some clubs, one also from England. But if Rangers knock on the door, that would be the priority for Nikola.

“He still has 18 months remaining on his contract in Zurich. But If it is meant for him to return to Rangers, he will be there.”

Speaking on the Daily Record’s Hotline Live on 7th December, Jackson claims the situation has gone to the next level with Rangers now ‘making contact’ over Katic.

“I believe there has been contact made, there have been some sort of discussions had behind the scenes,” said Jackson said.
