During the three and a half years that Gerrard managed Rangers, he collaborated with Barisic, being a part of the team that helped lead Rangers to the Premiership title — without losing a single league game in 20–21.
Speaking about Barisic and their August 2021 left-back competition against current Fulham defender Calvin Bassey, McAllister was all praise for Barisic, particularly for his left foot.
Regarding Barisic, McAllister remarked, “We have two quality full-backs: Borna, who has a beautiful left foot, and Calvin, a young guy, who has that energy going up and down the left side.”
