Sky Sports pundit Kris Commons believes that Rangers left-back Borna Barisic is the best in his position in the country, writing in his Scottish Daily Mail column (30/12 print edition, page 16 Verdict supplement).
Barisic had a disappointing first season at Ibrox after being signed by Steven Gerrard in the summer of 2018.
Fitness problems and a lack of consistency even left some questioning whether he had a future at the club, much like failed signing Eros Grezda.
However, the Croatian international has responded with an excellent six months in a Rangers jersey, which all culminated in a two-assist performance against rivals Celtic on Sunday.
Commons has been left stunned by his transformation and now thinks he's playing at a level beyond all others in Scotland.
Writing in his Scottish Daily Mail column (30/12 print edition, page 16 Verdict supplement), he said: "Celtic's front four were quiet and subdued yesterday. James Tavernier had Johnston in his pocket, while Borna Barisic looks a player completely reborn.
"The Croatian has gone from almost being out the door at Ibrox to now being the best left-back in the country.
"Celtic have to hold their hands up and admit they have been outplayed over the two Old Firm games we’ve seen this month."
