Colak said that childhood football 'addiction' meant he knew all about Gers even before his Ibrox Champions League double.
Ever since I was a child, I’ve been a football addict and I was following all the leagues, so I was following Rangers since I don’t know when. I want to achieve similar things and this is one of the main reasons I joined Rangers." Now I;m happy that finally the day is here and I’m a Rangers player.
ANTONIO COLAK has spent his career aiming to follow in the footsteps of his heroes who have pulled on the red, white and blue of Croatia.

I want to bring my work, pressing and movement to stretch teams. “It’s not only Dado Prso and Nikica Jelavic. There’s Borna and Nikola right now, they’re doing a really great job and of course I want to keep that tradition going, to give everything for the club. “With my personality and positivity, I want to bring everybody on my side and the team’s side and to have a successful year or years.” He said: “First of all I want to settle in and acclimatise as fast as possible with the team.

The Croatian frontman is likely to be leading the line when Rangers begin their European campaign next month.
I want to fight and give 100% on the pitch and leave my heart on the pitch and get rewards. I want to be successful on the pitch and score goals and to be there for chances in dangerous areas. I was just waiting for the moment to be on the pitch with the guys and get to know each other and get myself in. I was waiting for the moment to sign the papers and to get going and see the team and staff around the club. It’s an amazing feeling and I want to thank all the fans for welcoming me like that and I want to give them all this energy back. The 28-year-old did play there as a Malmo player last summer and scored twice to knock Rangers out of the Champions League, but is now excited to see what it's like as a home player.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst has landed his top transfer target after a lengthy chase with a three-year deal penned by the Croatia cap.
He has revealed Rangers was the only club he wanted to join after learning of their interest and is delighted the time has finally come for him to be a part of the club going forward. The 28-year-old has hailed his move to Glasgow as huge and has thanked everybody who has played a part in making the switch to Ibrox happen. He will provide extra firepower in the attacking third alongside Alfredo Morelos, Kemar Roofe and Fashion Sakala.
But I know from my past as a child, being a football addict, I followed all the leagues and I've followed Rangers since Dado Prso, Nikica Jelavic, Nacho Novo.
I want to score as many goals as I can, bring my work ethic, pressing and movements to stretch the [opposing] team. I want to keep that tradition, give everything for the club and achieve the targets that the club has. I want to bring my positivity, personality and after good games and goals with Rangers, I want to play for the national team because at the end of the year we have a big target, the World Cup. This is what I want to give as a Rangers player. This feeling gives me goosebumps and I want to achieve similar things. Thank you first of all, it’s a huge and amazing feeling to be here, finally!

The Croatian striker was announced as the Ibrox club's second summer signing.
Antonio Colak was confirmed as a Rangers player on Thursday after completing a £1.8 million deal from PAOK. The Croatian striker is already well-known to the Gers faithful after he scored two goals for Malmo to knock Steven Gerrard's side out of the Champions League last season. The 59-year-old remains the Ibrox club's record ever goalscorer with 355 goals during his illustrious career.
