Antonio Colak tells Rangers he cost them £40m but sacking Gio could have cost them more

Comb through the list of people responsible for the current mess Rangers find themselves and you’ll notice in amongst the ranks of ineffective execs, dithering directors and blundering bosses the name of a certain Antonio Colak.

The Croatian was, of course, once on the Light Blues’ books. But the damage he caused wasn’t done during his 12-month stint as an Ibrox striker.

Instead, you can trace a good deal of the club’s troubles back to the devastating double Colak blasted for Malmo as the 10-man Swede’s dumped Steven Gerrard’s Gers out of the Champions League back in August 2021.

That result saw a £40million windfall slip through Rangers fingers and so set in motion the nightmare events that have followed since.
