How did Antonio Colak play in opposition to Kilmarnock?
The Croatian hitman made his first league begin since the starting of January and he regarded “sharp” in line with Rangers Review journalist Joshua Barrie.
He had a hand in the first two targets, producing the help for Sakala’s purpose whereas taking 5 pictures in complete throughout the tie, exhibiting no rustiness in any respect.
With 46 touches all through the encounter, he was additionally eager on getting concerned and often dropping deep which marks a change from his ordinary predatory instincts, but it appeared to work splendidly today.
He did miss an enormous likelihood to get on the scoresheet, however by profitable three duels from 5 and drawing two fouls, he made up for his lack of killer intuition.
