Borna Barisic praises Rangers boss Steven Gerrard as he details fitness improvements

Rangers star Borna Barisic admits he's playing the best football of his life and is loving his time in Glasgow.

The Croatian has been in great form this season after a difficult first campaign at the club that was broken up by injuries.

There was real doubts about his future at Ibrox after a poor spell that saw both Andy Halliday and Jon Flanagan start games ahead of him.

But the 26-year-old has turned it around now and has become an integral part of the Rangers side who are currently sitting on top of the Premiership. And Barisic admits he's loving life at Ibrox just now under Steven Gerrard, who he was once again full of praise for.

He said: "Everything seems to have fallen into place for me recently. I've even been scoring a couple of goals too from free kicks, which I regard as my speciality.

"I'm healthy, I feel great and fit and in top shape.

"I'm really enjoying my second season at Rangers. I like how this team play football. In my first season, I had a lot of setbacks from injuries and I had all sorts of problems.

"But I've got over them and I feel I am in the form of my life and playing the best football of my career.

"As far as my fitness and the way I am playing, I can honestly say this is the best I have played. It helps that I am playing for a really good team with a great manager.

"I've got into a rhythm with playing at least two games a week and that's helped me. I'm not as tired as I used to be and I am fitter too."
