Rangers buy Serbia's Dragojevic from Partizan

Rangers have signed 20-year-old Serbia midfielder Vanja Dragojevic from Partizan Belgrade for an undisclosed fee. The Partizan captain has signed a four-year-contract with the Scottish Premiership club, with the option for a further year. "We are really excited to bring Vanja on board," manager Derek McInnes said. "He's got huge potential, really exciting attributes, and boasts the character to play in this environment. To captain a club the size of FK Partizan at such a young age tells you everything you need to know about the respect he commands and the leadership qualities he already possesses. "I believe he will add a lot to our group, and I look forward to working with him in the years ahead." Who has your Premiership club brought in & let go this summer? Dragojevic came through Partizan's youth system before signing a professional contract in September 2023 and was sent on loan to third-tier Teleoptik. Within four months, he signed a new deal until 2030 with a reported release clause of £12.75m and made his first-team debut in March last year. He became a regular starter, and captain, last season, making 41 appearances, scoring four times and providing four assists while playing mainly as a defensive midfielder as Partizan finished third in the Serbian SuperLiga. Dragojevic played in both legs of Partizan's Conference League third qualifying round defeat by Hibernian, when the Serbian side won 3-2 at Easter Road despite finishing with 10 men but went out 4-3 on aggregate after extra time. He made his international debut as a second-half substitute as Cape Verde warmed up for the World Cup finals with a 3-0 win over Serbia in May before he started in a 5-1 thrashing by tournament co-hosts Mexico.
