Josip Juranovic was born in Zagreb on 16 August 1995 (age 31) and is a Croatia international right-back. Celtic brought him in from Legia Warsaw in August 2021 for around £2.5m, a tidy enough piece of business at a time when the squad needed reliable full-backs rather than grand theory.
His best league return came at Celtic in 2021-22, when he scored three goals in 26 appearances. He was not a showy player, but he gave Celtic balance, athleticism and a decent level of composure on the ball. In January 2023 he left for Union Berlin in a deal worth around £7.5m.
Juranovic now plays for Union Berlin, wearing squad number 88, and has made three Bundesliga appearances in 2026-27. His career has taken him from Zagreb to Legia, Celtic and Germany, with his short spell in Glasgow standing as a profitable and useful one for the club.
