We knew when he came that he may last 3 or 4 years but we didnt know exactly when Dado Prso would eventually give in...
A statement given out today claimed :
Prso fears he is in final season
Rangers striker Dado Prso could be forced to retire through injury at the end of the forthcoming season.
Prso has confirmed that persistent knee problems have forced his retiral from international football after representing Croatia at the World Cup.
And he told the Sportske Novosti daily: "I'm 32, my knee is in bad shape and the end of my soccer career is near."
He has a year left of his contract and added: "I'll sit down then with my family and see what is best for me."
Prso, as he had been last season, again looked Rangers major threat as they defeated Middlesbrough in a pre-season friendly on Saturday, setting up the only goal of the game for Thomas Buffel.

I think this may be his last season at Rangers although its not confirmed, the fact that he withdrew from the International squad and has a year left on his contract may see the end of the legend that is Dado Prso... Obviously he is getting old also and the persistet knee problem will add to this and it will be a sad day when he plays his last game for rangers, he gives 110% in everygame and I think I speak for everyone when I say he has been a true hero at rangers the past couple of seasons

well, now no one can say he is taking the easy way out. Dado has been a great servant to ye and he will be a loss, though the real problem could be that this injury could flare up before the season is out, which wouldnt really be a fair way for The Soldier to go out
He will be sadly missed by the rangers support we wont have that great a physical presence upfront thats why i feel we should land Filip Sebo for future purposes. Dado is and always will be remebered as a TRUE BLUE whenever he pulls on the red white blue he give it 110%
Now i think everyone can join me in
THERES ONLY ONE DADO PRSO !

I'd be devestated, but his knee has been troubling him for years
He said he wanted to end his career at Ibrox anyway, but if he has to retire then so be it
Good luck to him, I hope Rangers can keep him on in some kind of capacity if he retires

Hopefully they will, but I doubt it unless he goes out and gets his badges.

He doesn't necessarily have to be a coach though, but I can't see where else they would fit him in
It would be the least that the best foreigner in the SPL deserves

Can you really see him sitting in an office wearing a suit? Or being a physio?

How funny would that be?
I can see some kind of Hulk-like figure

He could do TV though for Setanta or such like, it depends how much he wants to stay in Scotland
If Arthur Numan stayed, then I think Dado Prso might just stay too

Rangers striker Dado Prso is set to put retirement plans on hold and play on into next season.
The 32-year-old Croatian had hinted that knee injury problems would prompt him to quit the game at the end of the current campaign.
But his agent, Ranko Stojic, told Daily Record PM: "Dado wants to stay and I have had good dialogue with the club.
"They also want him to stay because, not only is he good on the field, he is inspirational off it as well."

Exclusive! Prso To Quit Ibrox
By Emma Dodds
DADO PRSO will leave Rangers at the end of the season and decide this summer if he'll retire from football altogether, following the news he cannot continue to play at the highest level.
Dado PrsoThe Croatian visited his specialist earlier this week for an examination on his injured knee and was given the news he had been fearing.
The 32-year-old has suffered ongoing problems with his knee for some years and his career has been guided by the trusted doctor back in France.
Unfortunately for both Prso and Rangers, the diagnosis this time was not good and as a result the Light Blue hero will now leave the club when his contract expires at the end of this season.
Although this moment was inevitable, an emotional Prso admitted he found the news hard to take and is devastated at having to leave Rangers.
Speaking exclusively Prso said: "I see my specialist every year and I went to see him earlier this week for our usual appointment.
"He told me that the situation with my knee is not getting any better and as a result I will need more and more rest.Dado Prso
"That is why I have decided that I won't be able to play on at Rangers next season.
"It's so frustrating for me. I knew I would have to stop playing one day, but that doesn't make it any easier once that time comes.
"I have spoken to the coach about my decision and it was a sad feeling."
There is a possibility Prso will be able to continue playing in some capacity in a less taxing league and that is a decision he will make in the summer.
Dado Prso celebrates after scoringBut his injury woes this season and the inability to produce his absolute top form have contributed to his decision to call it a day in the SPL now.
The Croatian is loved for his whole-hearted style and never-say-die attitude and is determined not to cheat himself or the club next term.
He added: "This season has been very difficult for me. I have had a lot of injuries and it's been tough.
"For next year the specialist told me I will need even more rest and that makes it difficult for me to continue at this level.
"That is why I think it is better for everybody that I see out my contract in the summer.Dado Prso celebration
"I have loved my time here and believe me I tried to put this off as long as possible, always thinking 'maybe next year, maybe next year.'
"But I cannot push it back any longer and I know in myself that another year for Rangers would be very hard.
"For the club also, I don't want to be here if I can't produce my top form."

Where would the money come from, Murray isn't going to allow us to spend an awefull lot of money. He'll only aloow us to spend the prize money from this season, and a tiny bit of his own. There's no prize money from this season...

Apr 10 2007, 08:52 AM
Theres still last seasons CL money somewhere....
I said months ago one of the new kits would be Purple, so thats my story

Will we get that, why didn't they use that last season?
My story is... I said Sebo was overhyped

Well rumour has it that Le Guen only spent what he felt was necessary...including 1.8million for Sebo
