The former Croatian youth international is on Gers radar this summer
Interest in Rangers target Matija Frigan is heating up – with the Westerlo frontman now linked with a reunion with one of his former managers who has taken up the reins at an English Championship club.
Record Sport understands that the Croatian striker is a summer target for new Gers sporting director Kevin Thelwell, who is keen to make his mark at Ibrox.
And reports in Croatia now state that English second tier side Hull City are also very keen on Frigan.
The Tigers have just appointed Sergej Jakirovic – who previously led Dinamo Zagreb to the league title in 2024 – as their new head coach.
Jakirovic previously worked with Frigan at Rijeka and it was under his management in the second half of the 2022/23 season that the Gers target enjoyed his best scoring campaign to date, netting 15 times in 32 matches in all competitions.
And the EFL club are said to be hopeful that the previous working relationship between the duo could give them the edge in a potential transfer tussle.
Hull were taken over by Turkish media moguls Acun Medya in 2022 and splahed out nearly £30million on transfer fees last season as the Championship side only avoided the drop to EFL League One by virtue of goal difference.
One man who Rangers fans would love to see back at Ibrox next season is Vaclav Cerny.
But the chances of the Czech Republic star pulling on the Light Blues’ jersey once again is looking increasingly unlikely, with the returning Wolfsburg winger not short of suitors.
