World Cup-bound Scott McKenna has been granted a break after he helped Dinamo Zagreb win the Croatian double.
The Scotland defender helped his club win the league with several games to go and followed it up with a Croatian Cup win against Rijeka this week.

He said: "Scott McKenna, captain Josip Misic, Miha Zajc and Dominik Livakovic have been given a well-deserved rest for the next two weeks.

McKenna, 29, has made 30 league starts for Dinamo since his summer move from Las Palmas and helped Dinamo romp to the title.
