The Croatian star, 27, has been one of the shining lights at the Qatar World Cup as his nation impressed once more to advance to the latter stages of the tournament.

Celtic defender Greg Taylor says he's ready to face Rangers despite being forced off against Hibs as a precautionary measure. But there could still be a derby selection plot twist in the works - with Alexandro Bernabei blowing Ange Postecoglou away with his cameo off the bench.
Ange Postecoglou is adamant he will take no big-game Celtic gambles over returning World Cup hero Josip Juranovic.
