Vanja Dragojevic's Rangers contract examined after Serbia snub vs Greece
Rangers ace Vanja Dragojevic missed out as Serbia lost 2-1 to Greece.
He was snubbed by Veljko Paunovic as he remained an unused substitute in the UEFA Nations League A group encounter.
He has featured twice for his country in friendlies with Mexico in May and Cape Verde in June.
However, his lack of appearances for the Ibrox side since his summer move has seen him fall down the pecking order.
Derek McInnes has preferred the likes of Nicolas Raskin, Cammy Devlin and Dan Neil over the 20-year-old.
Ibrox News looks at everything supporters need to know about the Serbian midfielder's contract situation after the omission.
What is Vanja Dragojevic's contract situation with Rangers?
Dragojevic signed a four-year deal when he joined the Bears in a £4million plus deal.
That will take him to 2030, for the earliest time that he can leave the Light Blues for free.
However, there is an option to extend that deal for a further year, which would take the expiry date to 2031.
That means that even if he was unhappy with his situation, an exit would be difficult to force.
How has Dragojevic fared at Rangers so far?
Dragojevic has featured just seven times for the G51 outfit in all competitions.
He has only played once in the Scottish Premiership, twice in the League Cup, twice in Europa League qualifying and twice in Conference League qualifying.
However, he is only young and his contract provides plenty of time for him to adapt to Scottish football and force his way into the side.
McInnes does not seem worried about the situation right now.
What has McInnes said about Dragojevic's situation?
McInnes has already opened up about Dragojevic's lack of playing time.
He confirmed that it is due to the fact that the Gers have hit a good vein of firm after the Jablonec debacle.
Speaking ahead of the League Cup win over Celtic, he said: “We have settled in recent weeks on a system.
“The same back four, same midfield two. Some form of three behind a main striker or a front two of some sort.
“We're just trying to find a bit of consistency of selection and consistency of results, which we've seen.
“But we have full belief in Vanja and we believe that he's going to be a player with a big future.”
That suggests the manager has not written the Serbian ace off, and it is simply a matter of time before he plays a role for his new side.
The international scenes will worry the player, but it will surely make him more determined to succeed, in order to change Paunovic's mind shortly.
