Career

Mladenović joined Rangers from Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade for £1.1m in August 2004.[1] He made his Rangers debut in a UEFA Champions League qualifier against CSKA Moscow. However, he failed to settle at Ibrox and was subsequently loaned out to Real Sociedad in January 2005.[2] He was released by Rangers on August 30, despite having three years left on his contract, and re-joined Red Star Belgrade on a free transfer.[3] This time he wasn't so successful. In 2006, Mladenović joined South Korean side Incheon United, where he continued playing until the 2009/10 season, after which he retired from professional football. Today he lives in Belgrade, Serbia, and currently is director of Red Star Belgrade youth academy.

International career

Mladenović played 17 games for his country. He scored his only international goal in his country's 1–0 win against Wales on 20 August 2003.
