HE joined Rangers in January 2022 for a fee of around £500,000.

But the defender played just one match for the club before being shipped out on loan last summer.

Polish right-back Mateusz Zukowski is living back in his homeland after sealing a move to Lech Poznan just months after making the move to Glasgow.

He was tipped for big things when he was signed by former Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst as he was brought in to replace Nathan Patterson, who left for Premier League outfit Everton earlier in the transfer window.

But after only making one appearance in the Scottish Cup against lower league side Annan Athletic, he was sent back out on loan to the Polish giants.

It hasn't gone too well for the right-back though as he has only played three games in the Polish top flight since returning, despite being a regular for Lechia Gdansk before leaving for Rangers.

Zukowski has since been demoted to Lech Poznan's reserve team and any minutes in the senior team now look unlikely as he gets set to returns to the Scottish Premiership at the end of the season.

The 21-year-old has not been called up for international duty during this break even though he's been a regular in the Polish youth sides in the past.

But he is enjoying a break from football instead after travelling to Rome with his girlfriend, Ola.

The couple have spent the last few days touring the European hot-spot and Ola has been giving fans a sneak peek into their luxury city break.

The Vatican was the last attraction they visited before heading back home as they battled the heights to climb up over 300 stairs for a stunning view of the city.

Posting a video on her Instagram story of them making the climb, Ola captioned it in Polish: "He thought he would rest here and I took him on a trip.

"And yes, it's only 320 stairs, because we missed 217 by going up the elevator (unfortunately, it was not possible to go higher)."

After getting to the top, she uploaded a video of the views saying: "But it was worth it for this view."
