Greg Stewart reveals the Rangers dig at Barisic that left Derek McInnes in a sweat before dream transfer came to life

Greg Stewart joked he was about to sign for Rangers to Borna Barisic while he was still at Aberdeen – only for his prediction to come true just days later.

And it was a cheeky dig at the Croat that got Derek McInnes scrambling to keep news of his move to Ibrox under wraps. Stewart impressed on loan at Aberdeen at the tail end of the 2018/19 season and his Pittodrie form prompted Steven Gerrard to swoop in and sign him on a pre-contract deal.

He penned a contract with his boyhood club in March and it came soon after an impressive Scottish Cup performance against them as Aberdeen forced a quarter-final replay with a 1-1 draw.

Stewart wasn't on the scoresheet but gave Barisic a torrid time, so much so he jokingly 'thanked' the left-back afterwards for earning him a move to Rangers.
