Croatian wants to emulate Dado Prso

Rangers star Nikica Jelavic insists he wants to emulate fellow countryman Dado Prso and become a legend at Ibrox. Jelavic has settled in well to life in Glasgow and has scored 16 goals this season following his move from Rapid Vienna. The form of the Croatian international has seen him linked with a move to England, with Aston Villa said to be keeping tabs on him. But, whilst acknowledging the Premier League interest, he insists he wants to continue to prove himself with Rangers. "I love it in Glasgow, maybe this is not the prettiest town in the world but I have found my peace here and also a great passion to play football," he told Jutarnji List. "Being a Rangers player is such a privilege. "The Premier League? There are talks about this, I'm reading about interest from Aston Villa but my main goal is to one day be like Dado Prso. "I want to be an icon as he was here."
