Just read an article about big Katic and a possible return. He is apparently pushing to get a move and only wants to go to Rangers.
Question : Would we be happy to see him back? Thoughts?
21 Jan 2025 22:00:27
It's a no from me.
21 Jan 2025 22:19:07
And it's a no from me as well Mark.
21 Jan 2025 22:46:55
We need a CH who can compete in both boxes, I wouldn't be disappointed to see him back.
21 Jan 2025 22:59:30
A yes from me as one of our 4 centre backs definetely.
21 Jan 2025 23:03:12
Nope, can get better and younger for cheaper no doubt.
21 Jan 2025 23:08:39
Nah . rough as a badger's erse.
21 Jan 2025 23:23:55
If that's true he must have an inclination that rangers would sign him or otherwise why would you push for a move that's never going to happen.
Or the whole things made up lol.
22 Jan 2025 00:24:48
MASSIVE . YES.
22 Jan 2025 04:09:05
Big yes for me. Remember he was a young boy when he was with us. So a lot more experience now.
22 Jan 2025 05:04:12
Hell no, we need better than him to challenge.
22 Jan 2025 06:23:47
No. He was rank rotten first time around.
Very limited footballer.
22 Jan 2025 06:27:47
On the fence, knows the club and full international now and if fee and wages are low enough then I'd normally say why not, but with the emergence of Nsiala, along with Propper, Balogun, Fernandes and Souttar whenever he's due to return do we really need him, plus Sterling can fill in there as well as King, I think it's overkill in that area. A fortnight ago I would've said we needed two ch's but as mentioned Nsiala has stepped up and not looked out of place so I don't think it's wise for the board to sanction something we don't really need now.
22 Jan 2025 06:56:45
Dreadful player could not trap a bag of cement.
22 Jan 2025 07:09:03
Guy's a presence n paired well with goldson euro campaign if in decent form good centreback to have on his day better than propper
Knows our game
Could be a decent acquisition.
22 Jan 2025 07:16:36
We are crying out for a big aggressive CH, make us better on set plays both defensively and in attack. Katic was definitely in that mould but I've not seen him play since he left so not sure what he is like now.
22 Jan 2025 07:19:19
I liked big Katic when he was here before so I'd have him back. We need some physicality about us.
22 Jan 2025 08:17:30
It's a yes from me!
People need to remember he was the age of Leon king the last time around!
Yes he was in and out the team. But he was kept out the team by goldson (gerrards fav) worral, and then Helander who set a British record
He's absolutely an upgrade on propper and probably a similar level to Souttar.
22 Jan 2025 08:37:18
In terms of Katic for me it's more he is likely to be no more than a squad player, unless he has transformed his ball playing skills. So it would need to be a real club friendly deal and Katic being aware of not being the 1st choice defender….
22 Jan 2025 08:43:26
I haven't watched anything of Katic since he left, so have no idea how he's progressed.
I'd be surprised if this one happened though.
22 Jan 2025 09:02:28
Katic should be target for us knows the club and the Scottish game and has more experience now it's a no brainer.
22 Jan 2025 09:55:19
The only thing Katic will be pushing is a Stool.
22 Jan 2025 10:00:09
Take him back in a heartbeat, gave 100% every time he played. In reply to a comment above, I've never known any footballer anywhere to need to trap a bag of cement.
22 Jan 2025 10:03:50
I'm on the fence too just got a skelf on my arse.
22 Jan 2025 10:35:59
He's better than Souttar!
22 Jan 2025 10:59:15
GDog he's better than Souttar you after a laugh?
22 Jan 2025 10:59:26
He's not that great either the ball at his feet we usually play ball playing cb's. Would be good to see him back imo as he offers something different.
22 Jan 2025 11:16:57
This is agent driven rather than Rangers driven.
What I would say is, and its only my opinion.
He is a player that knows the club, knows the league and can handle the physicality.
Something Clement highlighted recently was our lack of height/ size at set pieces - Katic would certainly help address this.
At 28 years old he's in his prime, a full international for Bosnia and has played in European group competition in 2 of the last 3 seasons with Zurich. he's 3 years younger than Propper and 8 years younger than Balogun.
On paper, I don't think this is a bad option.
But just to be clear, the player and his agent want this move and there is no indication as of yet that the club are pursuing it.
22 Jan 2025 11:18:22
Yes from me, he was younger and less experienced first time around, has gained valuable experience and watching him a few times since he left he seems to command a lot better, let's be honest what have we to lose, waiting for the snipers now.
22 Jan 2025 11:27:20
My Star, for me he's better than Souttar. Yes!
Souttar this season has been solid. Katic is quite similar but better with his feet. He's also way better than he was first time round. Souttar has offered nothing until this season and now he's injured again. Before this season he was a fricken bombscare!
You don't agree, that's cool.
22 Jan 2025 11:41:27
GDod if you think Katic is better than Souttar cool, I believe Souttar is just a different level of cb.
22 Jan 2025 11:50:05
He's a big lump, liked the guy but no. Even in our position we can get a more technical player who's younger.
22 Jan 2025 12:06:42
Katic as outstanding in champions league last year if I remember against some very good teams. Would have him in a heartbeat.
22 Jan 2025 12:16:23
We are crying out for a big CB that can tackle, turn quickly, play the ball out from the back. Katic is none of these.
22 Jan 2025 13:13:41
Laudbear, was Katic even playing in the champions league last season?
22 Jan 2025 13:16:44
I've been a big fan of Souttar since his Dundee Utd days. I think he's a very solid CB for the level we are at. Big injuries have held him back. Finally, this season we have seen the best of him. Playing on his favoured side certainly helps. He was becoming a leader we desired on the park.
I think people who doubted his ability, are now seeing how much of a solid defender he actually is. Since he's been injured we've conceded goals like never before this season. Looking forward to him returning at the start of February, because we've missed him.
22 Jan 2025 13:37:07
It's settled then, good. we don't know . He's somewhere between an outshshanding beautiful world beater (as Brendan would blurt out) and a big useless slow lump, but could be either, expert football knowledge always nice to see and hear .
22 Jan 2025 13:56:33
I have not seen him play since he was here but I would like to think he has worked on his game and improved. I think Katic would be good defensively and give us a goal threat at corners. Not the worst idea.
22 Jan 2025 14:22:04
Too ok all the ones against Katic, we're yous also against Craig Moore coming back to rangers based on his 1st spell?
22 Jan 2025 14:29:49
Better than soutter ??never in a million years is he better than soutter.
22 Jan 2025 14:31:20
Katic better with his feet? Used to have a heart attack when the ball got passed back to him he has a horrible first touch and his distribution was horrendous.
22 Jan 2025 15:00:53
Katic is a better defender than souttar but souttar is better with the ball. That's my opinion of the 2.
I'd like to have both next season and hopefully cash in on souttar the following year.
Katic was best player on the park against Arsenal in Europe 2 year ago.
He's a far better player than when we had him. He's 28 which is now prime for a cb and in fact may still get better.
He's not a 21 yo kid anymore which people forget when talking about him.
Remember Craig Moore young compared to advocaat n MacLeish.
22 Jan 2025 15:37:17
Katic is nowhere near the level of souttar an just shows you how much some of our fans are clueless.
It's amazing what scoring a goal against Celtic can do for a player katic was woeful at best.
22 Jan 2025 15:38:16
Stevie Moore and katic are two different players it's like comparing apples and oranges.
22 Jan 2025 16:01:02
Dint think they're so different in style storm. Think they're similar in style mate. Obviously Katic not in big oz league in talent but I rated oz one of the best around when he played for us for a few year period.
Katic now could very well offer that talent and truth is none of us know, I'm going off a few games I've seen and others are going off his first stint.
So none of us truly know.
