Former Rangers goalkeeper Robby McCrorie has joined Croatian side NK Varazdin.

The 28-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the club.

McCrorie, who is the brother of Ibrox right-back Ross, has spent recent seasons in Denmark with Esbjerg FB.

He has now moved to the Stadion Varteks to join a side with ambitions of claiming the Croatian title.

The keeper had interest from clubs both in Scotland and abroad, including in Scandinavia, but chose to continue his career in Croatia.

McCrorie left Ibrox in 2024 after becoming frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities.

During his time with Rangers, he had loan spells with Berwick Rangers, Queen of the South, Morton, and Livingston.

However, he was unable to secure a regular spot in the starting line-up with his boyhood club.

He then moved to Kilmarnock to work under current Rangers boss Derek McInnes, before heading to Denmark on an initial loan deal.

McCrorie was called up to the Scotland squad during Steve Clarke's tenure but was not selected for the World Cup.

Clarke chose Angus Gunn, Craig Gordon and Liam Kelly as his three goalkeepers.

There will be change between the sticks under new boss Sebastien Pocognoli.

Pocognoli said: "It is a trap to want to change too much.

"It is impossible to change too much.

"First of all, because the inheritance I get is very strong.

"They have brought Scotland back to the map and that has been the case for many years.

"The team are experienced.

"We have players who win titles in this group.

"It is massive to use this.

"But, yes, if you want to continue you also have to bring in new players, give them a chance, test them.

"But you have to find the right balance to be successful and develop some young players.

"The key is finding the right balance and making good choices for the qualifiers."
