Scotland star Scott McKenna reckons the Croatian league is similar to the Scottish Premiership after making a big impact with Dinamo Zagreb.
The former Aberdeen and Nottingham Forest defender scored his first goal for his new club at the weekend after his summer move from Las Palmas.
McKenna became the first ever Scot to play in the Croatian leagues when he moved.
And he reckons there are plenty of similarities between the nations.
He said: "The league is very even, there are a lot of good teams in the league who want to compete for the title.

"There are certain similarities between the Scottish league and the Croatian league.
"But in Scotland, a few of the strongest clubs have much larger budgets than the rest of the league. The league is very even here.
"It felt good to score my first goal for Dinamo, especially considering I hadn't scored for a few years.
"Scoring goals is something I always want to improve because I don't think I score enough goals.
"In previous seasons, I haven't really scored many goals at all.
"I am really enjoying it here, though.
"I live near the stadium, near Maksimir, I enjoy it with my family, there are many beautiful promenades where we walk with our baby. "Going for coffee is a big tradition in Croatia, so we have adapted and there are several cafes where we relax with a good coffee.
"My aim is to fight for the league and cup here. We have had a great start in Europe and we would like to continue achieving good results, so we will see where that takes us. "I have not set myself any big goals, I want to play at a high level and maintain this level of form. The most important thing is that Dinamo achieves their ambitions."
