Nikola Katić (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [nǐkola kǎːtitɕ, - kâː-];[1][2] born 10 October 1996) is a Croatian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Prva HNL club Hajduk Split, on loan from Scottish Premiership club Rangers.[3] He has played once for the Croatia national team, in 2017.

Club career

Early career

Katić started his football career in 2001 at HNK Stolac in his native Stolac,[4] before moving on to NK Neretvanac in Opuzen, Croatia. He was soon moved to the club's senior team and started featuring in Treća HNL Jug.[5] A year later, he went on a trial with HNK Hajduk Split's reserve team, but did not sign.[6] A year later, however, he moved to top-tier NK Slaven Belupo.[7] Initially mostly featuring for the youth team, Katić broke into the club's first squad in the 2016–17 season.

Rangers

In June 2018, Katić left Slaven to join Scottish Premiership club Rangers on a four-year deal, for an undisclosed transfer fee.[8]

On 29 December 2019, Katić scored the winning goal in a 2–1 victory in the Old Firm against Celtic, the first win at Celtic Park for Rangers since 2010[9]

International career

Katić represented Croatia at under-21 level, playing against Austria and Slovenia in 2017.[10] Katić was called up to the senior Croatia team in May 2017, and he made his full international debut as a late substitute for Ivan Santini in a 2–1 win against Mexico.[11]

He was named in Croatia's squad for UEFA Under-21 Euro 2019 and was featured in all three group stage matches as Croatia finished last in the group following losses to Romania and France and a draw with England.
