Borna Barisic ready for instant Rangers return as left-back avoids 14-day quarantine

Rangers star Borna Barisic has landed back in Glasgow just in time to avoid a 14-day period of quarantine.

The Ibrox defender returned from Croatia as the Ibrox side prepare to restart training in the coming week, three months after Scottish football was brought to a halt by coronavirus.

Government rules set to kick in on Monday mean all UK arrivals face a fortnight lockdown before they can go about their daily business.

Left-back Barisic posted a picture on social media showing him donning a face mask as he boarded a flight to the UK.

Steven Gerrard ’s squad were allowed to return home to spend lockdown with their families but have been summoned back with top flight clubs set to return to training on a phased basis from Thursday.

SFA chiefs announced that the ban on training would be lifted for top flight clubs so long as they follow strict protocols including keeping a safe distance between players and coaches, disinfecting all equipment after it’s been used and having Covid testing kits on site.

The SPFL and SFA joint response group are aiming for a return to competitive action on August 1.
