Marti Baturina is the heir apparent and will face off against the Hoops in the Champions League this season
If any player ever thinks about pulling out or calling off from Scotland duty they really ought to listen to Luka Modric.
The Croats have hit heights we could only dream of with Modric at the heart of it all. Since we last qualified for a World Cup, they’ve been to five. “For me, playing for the national team is something special, a great honour. It keeps me motivated and pushes me forward. That’s the main reason I’m still here and want to compete at the highest level.
“We want to make the whole of Croatia proud when we play. So it’s passion, desire, and all the similar words like that.” “It was a tough game, as always against Scotland. But it’s an excellent memory for us. It was important to us to fight for the next round. Scotland were a tough opponent, that’s always the case against them.
“They’ve have many qualities and when I say I have a special affinity with my country - Scotland reminds me of the Croatian team in some ways.
