Dragojevic, a youth international, plays centrally and had not yet locked down regular first-team minutes at Partizan, which kept his transfer value within Rangers' reach.\n\nRangers have shopped repeatedly in the Serbian market for players aged 19 to 22, targeting prospects whose price tags have not been inflated by sustained first-team exposure in stronger leagues. The Serbian SuperLiga's lower wage and fee structures give Rangers access to profiles they could not afford from Scandinavian, Dutch, or Portuguese academies at comparable developmental stages.\n\nDragojevic enters a central midfield group that has seen significant turnover in recent seasons. He will compete for minutes against a blend of established and emerging options. The pressing intensity, aerial duels, and transition pace of the Scottish Premiership, particularly in Old Firm matches, will demand a physical adjustment for a player whose development to date has come in a less demanding league.\n\n\"We are always looking to strengthen the squad with young, hungry players who can develop here and contribute to the team,\" a club statement read.\n\nRangers' next scheduled match will provide the first concrete indicator of how the coaching staff views Dragojevic's readiness: a place in the matchday squad, a bench spot, or omission for under-21 integration work would each signal something different about his short-term trajectory.","\u002Farticles\u002Frangers-sign-vanja-dragojevic-partizan-midfielder",[99,100,101,102,85,103,104,105,106,107],"analysis","basketball","cricket","f1","general","golf","mma","long-reads","tennis",[109,122,135],{"id":110,"stem":110,"path":111,"title":112,"category":85,"badge":113,"badgeType":114,"author":87,"authorRole":115,"authorInitials":116,"date":117,"readTime":118,"image":119,"imageAlt":112,"tags":120,"excerpt":121},"efl-cup-first-round-weekend-schedule-shift","\u002Farticles\u002Fefl-cup-first-round-weekend-schedule-shift","EFL Cup Shifts to Weekend Dates in a Strategic Departure from Tradition","Football: Analysis","category","SportPulse Contributor","ER","2026-08-06 00:37:21","3 min read","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002F83f7\u002Flive\u002F72abffb0-3806-11f1-8606-05fe34b06e1b.jpg","EFL Cup, English Football, Premier League, Championship","The EFL Cup abandons its midweek identity as first-round fixtures move to weekends, reshaping how clubs approach the competition.",{"id":123,"stem":123,"path":124,"title":125,"category":85,"badge":126,"badgeType":114,"author":127,"authorRole":128,"authorInitials":129,"date":130,"readTime":131,"image":132,"imageAlt":125,"tags":133,"excerpt":134},"glasner-crystal-palace-nottingham-forest-legacy-risk","\u002Farticles\u002Fglasner-crystal-palace-nottingham-forest-legacy-risk","Glasner's Forest Gamble: Can Palace's Architect Walk Away Clean?","Opinion","James Chen","Senior Football Analyst","JC","2026-07-02 15:03:01","6 min read","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002F9fc5\u002Flive\u002Fdcf3e940-7597-11f1-832e-29cbe4028c1e.jpg","Premier League, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest","Oliver Glasner transformed Crystal Palace into a legitimate force.
