Plymouth land Nikola Katic after Rangers opt against January loan move

Nikola Katic was presented as an option to the Rangers board earlier in the January transfer window, but the former Ibrox star has now sealed a move elsewhere, joining Plymouth Argyle on loan from FC Zurich until the end of the season.

The Bosnian defender will bolster Plymouth’s squad ahead of the English Championship run-in as they desperately fight the prospect of relegation.

Katic, 28, brings a wealth of experience having previously played for Rangers, Hajduk Split, and Slaven Belupo before making the switch to Switzerland in 2022.

The towering 6-foot-4 centre-back has also earned six caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina and boasts both international and European pedigree.

“Nikola joins us with excellent pedigree having represented his country and played European football,” said Plymouth boss Miron Muslic.

“He will add further height and defensive strength to our options but most of all showed a real desire to be a part of Argyle for the rest of the season.

“I have said before that I want players in the squad who want to be here, and Nikola showed exactly that.

“I’m really happy he has joined us and want to welcome him to Argyle.”
