YOU can tell there is a player in Nikola Katic given how well he started the season and Rangers fans shouldn’t be worried about his progress right now. More importantly, either should he.

His confidence might have taken a bit of a hit when he made a couple of mistakes in matches and younger players can be more inconsistent when their belief levels go up and down more easily than experienced professionals.

Katic will be looking at Gareth McAuley and Connor Goldson, not so much Joe Worrall because they are similar ages, and learning from them all the time.

He has got his feet under the table at Ibrox now and he will understand the demands of what it takes to play for Rangers.

I have got no doubts whatsoever that, whether it happens this season or it takes until next season, he will be a great player for Rangers.

Just because he is in and out of the team and the squad, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have ability or that he won’t be good enough in the long run for Steven Gerrard.

He is more than capable of coming in and holding his own and it will have meant a lot to him to get his goal in the win over Helsinki on Sunday.

That threat in the opposition box is something that he brings to the table. He is aggressive in the air and he can find the net.

When you have got a centre-half that can score goals, that can only make a team more dangerous and that is a good asset to have.

Katic will be learning all the time and getting better all the time and I do believe that he will prove to be a good signing for Rangers going forward.
