This week's Katic appreciation thread

[dh1963]

Bossed the Hibs centre forward in the air.
Kept it simple with the ball.
Tackles like he means it.
And by God, he enjoyed the final whistle!
Solid, physical, committed.

Big Katic is finishing the season brilliantly.

 

[Ally’s Golden Boot]

I personally believe he is our best CH. love his aggression.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Still only 21 and will be even better next season.

Was it Gray he out jumped, out muscled and won a powerful header leaving that khunt flat on the floor - Madden gave a free kick.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Thought he was great today

Another really reliable performance from Niko. Love the guy

 

[Prestwick Bear]

Love the big man, Katic & Goldson is our best central defence partnership beyond doubt, finishing off the season just the way we started it. Long may it continue.

 

[Larkhall_Exile]

The big man strolled it, again

he didnt get near the ball - he just wiped out Gray. which was nice.

 

[Marc]

Agree... but still worried him Goldson and Flanagan in the same team have very little pace... especially for next Sunday

 

[Deek]

Decent venture into left wing

What might have been this season if we had stuck with him

 

[The Lone Sniper]

Beginning to look like a great acquisition.

 

[mkgers]

Love the big man!

 

[Danger Zone]

He is, what in scientific terms is known as, a “unit”.

Guys a man mountain and my favourite of our centre half’s.

 

[DeeGer10]

I feel a lot more comfortable watching Goldson and Katic than any other pairing.

 

[Brisy]

Was hanging about after the game to get pics of the players with the wee man, there was a crowd around Katic and was getting a photo with a wee kid, gave the kid a kiss on the head when he passed him back to his mum, guy beside me belts oot "I hope you gonna gie me a kiss" big man just smiles at him and gives the wee mibee hand gesture....

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

MOTM for me again this week.

Only player today that could be happy with his performance in both halves

 

[wd1872]

Katic looks like he will eat your babies without hesitating.

That's exactly the kind of centre half I want in my team.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

Taxi for Worrall

 

[Dooodooodrooo]

Making it look easy. A solid game next week should give him a boost to the next level. Only 21, he's going to be a monster of a cb.

 

[Broxi1985]

Conceded 1 in 5 games? I think your being a bit harsh mate.

 

[Vamos_buffalo]

He’s going to have a great career and make us a fortune

He is very comfortable at the club now. Seems to be really settled & feeling the love of the fans

 

[bilkobear]

A dangerous presence in the box.
I always fancy him to nab a goal.

Good point. Steven Davis had many quality moments but there was a long spell where our midfield was all over the place. Niko was 100% solid throughout.

....and thank phuck for that!

 

[BuffaloSoldier19]

Touch of Bougherra a couple times when he went marauding forward, beautiful to see.

Quality player, gutted he hasn't featured all season - whatever the reason.

 

[TinoWatp]

By far the best CB we have. Excited for the years to come in there getting better and better each season

 

[The Golden God]

It feels like he's going to win 99/100 headers in the air. It's so reassuring.

 

[dh1963]

Taxi for Worrall

Intention in the OP was to praise Katic, not use it as a reason to slag off another Rangers player.

 

[imvaison]

Excellent central defender who once again gave a commanding performance. I hope we don’t sideline him again but rather build our defence round him for years to come.

 

[Commodore Carbuncle]

I personally believe he is our best CH. love his aggression.

I agree. Big man will be tremendous for us.

 

[hurlock22]

I never seen the game today but so glad to hear he had a good game. I've said it before but I'm sure we would have got more goals from set pieces if he was playing more this season.
Not forgetting that he's on the month of May on the Rangers calendar.
Boom! 100 staunch points.

 

[Robbie Wilson]

I think he's better than Goldson me, Goldson better watch out or it's him on the bench when the new CH arrives.

 

[Rangers daft]

Finishing the season as he started it, in tremendous form....just a pity big Joe played the middle part of the season or we might be looking at a title party against those cunts next week

 

[RFC97]

Worral being in front of him for most of the season was just mind boggling.

Katic is probably twice the player.

 

[Strathbungo Bear]

I think what Niko does is neutralise teams who play long balls down the park and this is really useful in our league. Next week will be a much bigger challenge for him but I am sure he will rise to it. Odlično napravljen veliki čovjek, volimo te! As they say in google translate.

 

[Ssor29]

Big man has been superb. He's willing to go through anything and everything. Brave brave boy

He’s got 6 goals in the limited time he’s played.

 

[RFC97]

This is why I don’t understand the clamor to sign the Rennes player as well

 

[punksnotdead]

My kind of defender. No nonsense, just stop the other team from scoring defending. Love the big man.

 

[Twosignals]

It’s like having a Big Marv on duty, and he wares his heart on his sleeve, unlike a certain person who thinks he’s too good for us.

 

[Scooby]

A dangerous presence in the box.
I always fancy him to nab a goal.

He was 16/1 with hills to score at any time today.

He is worth sticking a wee wager on at those odds, he attacks the ball very well at corners and free kicks.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

I’d play Niko as my first choice mate. Maybe Gerrard has decided to put Mexer in for Goldson ? Or maybe Goldson wants to return south ? Or maybe he just wants three quality options ?

thats what got him into bother mate, that and the wee filthy he shared it with

I’m worried it will be for Katic. The gaffer sees Goldson as the main stay in the pair and we paid 3m plus for him. And I don’t think he wants away because he seems to love it here.

Hopefully just 3 quality options which we will need of really pushing for the title.

I’d guess you’re right mate. But I love Niko’s spirit & physical approach. His passing also seems to be improving.

 

[rossgers]

His mazy run up the left wing had the SJR in raptures. Should have been our shy but true to form Madden ended the fun with an unjustified foul against the new Ted McMinn.

Yip and he’s also taken the ball on a wee run the last few games today and at Motherwell haha
