The Real Madrid icon was livid with teammate Petr Sucic's sending off in the first half of the 1-0 defeat at Hampden
A seething Luka Modric accused ref Orel Grinfeld of 'killing' them after Croatia went down to a last gasp defeat against Scotland at Hampden.
Croatian skipper and Real Madrid legend Modric was fuming with Israeli official Grinfeld after he sent Peter Sucic off for a second bookable offence shortly before half time. The 39-year-old did however escape a booking which would have ruled him out of his side's final Nations League clash against Portugal on Monday. But after the game, the midfield maestro did not mince his words about whistler Grinfeld.
"We even had a chance to win it through Mario Pasalic. The ref was arrogant, he would only talk to me but not the rest of the players. Petr Sucic made two fouls and was shown two yellow cards. We received four yellow cards out of six or seven fouls.
