Rangers defender Borna Barisic has been linked with a move to Serie A side Roma and the Gers should look across the city to Celtic for an idea of the sort of sum they should be demanding for the Croat. After Celtic sold Kieran Tierney to Arsenal for £25million over the summer, that’s exactly the…

I would rather we did not entertain an enquiry until we have 55. And I think that his value will increase after the Euros…BUT
Can someone, anyone, please explain to me how the starting left back for Croatia, ranked 6 in the world, played in the last World Cup final, is not worth more than someone who can’t get a game at left back for Scotland, ranked 50 in the world, who haven’t been to a tournament in 22 years?
the idea that Barisic is worth £8-9 million is a farce. Nothing below £25 million should be considered. If people don’t want to pay what he is worth, fine. Go away. Someone else will pay it in the summer. He won’t be as rested as glass hips, because he will be at the Euros, but he will still be better.

You need to remember the age difference aswell Tierney has potential and borna is at his peak so it won’t be long before his value starts to go down. He also didn’t play in the world cup. We’d be lucky to get 25 mil
