Slobodan Rubezic makes Aberdeen FC transfer decision as lifts lid on awe-inspiring Sir Alex Ferguson meeting
Slobodan Rubezic has confirmed he will be returning to Aberdeen this summer.
The defender is currently back on loan at his former club, Novi Pazar, but will head back to Jimmy Thelin 's squad for pre-season.
There have been claims in Serbia that Novi Pazar have a purchase option but that is not the case and the Montenegrin international will come back to the Dons.
Rubezic, when asked about his future, confirmed: 'I'm returning to Aberdeen. I'm not burdened with thinking about the summer transfer window and continuing my career.'
Rubezic confirmed he made the switch to Novi Pazar in the short-term for personal reasons in February.
He explained: 'No, the transfer window has already passed, so for some personal reasons I decided to go on loan and to do it at home.
'There is nothing strange. Novi Pazar is my second home. I have never felt so good anywhere in my career as I do here.
'I've been welcomed in Pazar as if I was born there. When I'm happy and playing well, I feel better. That's why I separate Novi Pazar from all the other clubs.
'The people and the city are special, which is why I always like to come back to Novi Pazar.'
The big defender has helped Novi Pazar into the play-offs and wants to lead them back into Europe before he packs his back for a return to the Granite City.
Rubezic is hoping it will be a European double with Aberdeen joining them in European competition.
He is backing Thelin's side to finish third in the Premiership and to go on and lift the Scottish Cup, with the final against Celtic.
He claimed: 'I am regularly interested (in Aberdeen) and watch when I have the opportunity.
'I hope to fulfill all the goals, I know that they were the highest at the beginning of the season.
"They are currently in a place that leads to Europe, I believe that in the end they will manage to climb to third place.
'I will support them with all my heart and hope they will win the cup in the final with Celtic.
'I regularly hear from Slovenian Ester Sokler and captain Graeme Shinnie.'
Aberdeen head to Rangers this Sunday looking for a big win. Rubezic was part of Barry Robson's side who went there and won 3-1 last season. The centre half reckons that has been his Aberdeen highlight so far.
The 25-year-old insisted: 'That was the victory over Rangers at Ibrox Park. What an atmosphere it was. I was living my dream.
'I remember watching the match between Rangers and Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League qualifiers as a child. Even then, I imagined myself playing and winning at that stadium.'
Another big result on the other side of Glasgow this season, allowed Rubezic the chance to meet Sir Alex Ferguson, after the 2-2 draw at Celtic back in October.
Rubezic, speaking to Zurnal.rs recalled: 'I was most proud of my performance and that of the team at the aforementioned match against Celtic.
'After the game with Celtic at Celtic Park (2-2), I had the honour of meeting the great (Sir Alex) Ferguson.
'Before that match, we had a streak in which no one could beat us. That game also caught Ferguson's attention.
'When I happen to meet such a legend of European and world football, I will remember something like that for the rest of my life.'

Hibs suffer extra time heartache in Europa League exit
A stunning goal in the dying minutes of extra time saw Hibs crash out of the Europa League in heart-breaking fashion on a night of high drama at Easter Road, as Junior Brumado's spectacular over-head kick pitched David Gray's men into the Conference League. The Edinburgh side will now face Partizan in Belgrade next week after losing 2-1 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate, to European regulars Midtjylland. On a night when both teams had goals disallowed for offside, a stunning Daniel Osorio strike four minutes into extra time looked to have put Midtjylland into the third qualifying round. But that man Rocky Bushiri popped up with an injury-time equaliser at the end of the first half of extra time, rifling an Elie Youan cross into the roof of the net to spark absolute bedlam among a record home crowd. But agony was to follow the ecstasy. And a night that had begun with such high hopes, with potential new signing Grant Hanley watching from the main stand, ended in disappointing. Or at least a few quickly altered travel plans. After a blistering start on a par with last week's opening exchanges at the MCH Arena, Hibs actually thought they'd broken the deadlock with 15 minutes on the clock. Kieron Bowie certainly didn't look offside as he thumped Jordan Obita's low cross into the roof of the net – but a flag for Martin Boyle's starting position cut celebrations short. Hibs looked at their best in that opening quarter hour, with Jamie McGrath firing over the bar after a nice set-up by Bowie. But there was always an air of menace about Midtjylland. Jordan Smith made a trio of good saves before half-time to keep his team alive, while in-demand Daniel Osorio blazed a great chance over the bar after a slip by Jack Iredale. Making it to the break without conceding at least allowed Gray's men to regroup and recover from a ferocious effort against extremely athletic opposition. High drama was to come early in the second half, as opposition danger man Franculino Dju calmly slotted beyond Smith after a long ball over the top with 53 minutes on the clock. The cheer when the goal was disallowed after a lengthy VAR check could have been heard in Herning. Hibs were energised by that decision, Chris Cadden immediately responding with a well-hit shot that was spilled tantalisingly without the rebound being put away. Inevitably, though, Midtjylland created more chances as the game went on, bringing quality – and vast European experience – off the bench to poke and prod at home defences. Boyle was obviously offside when he broke through to cross for a Nicky Cadden 'goal' into time added on. Oh, how Hibs would have loved to have avoided the burden of extra time. The goal this game so desperately needed came, alas, not from the home side. But from the left boot of Osorio, a player coveted by many a major club in leagues across Europe; there was nothing Smith could have done to prevent the ball screaming past him on its way into the net. Nicky Cadden and Bushiri both came close with efforts as Hibs, throwing on attacking players in pursuit of an equaliser, went for broke. And then Rocky did what Rocky does, with a huge assist from the fast feet and excellent delivery of substitute Youan. Ah man, it looked as if they were going to make it to penalties. Midtjylland even changed their keeper in anticipation of spot kicks. At least they lost to an absolute worldie. Scant consolation, right? 1 . GK Jordan Smith 8/10 Nothing he could have done about either of Midtjylland's goals. Made a series of big saves and important interventions on a night when Hibs needed him to be at his very best. Outstanding. | SNS Group Photo Sales 2 . RCB Warren O'Hora 7/10 Distribution from the back was crucial in setting the early tempo for Hibs. Incredibly important sliding block saved a certain goal late in the first half. Generally reliable. | SNS Group Photo Sales 3 . CB Rocky Bushiri 9/10 Hold that thought ... The big man loves a 'Sliding Doors' moment. Made a couple of crucial interventions at the back. Then popped up to score a vital equaliser. In injury time at the end of the first half of extra time. As you do. Well, as he does. | SNS Group Photo Sales 4 . LCB Jack Iredale 7/10 Was asked to do a lot with and without the ball. One or two slip-ups – but generally effective. Removed after Midtjylland's opener as Hibs changed up. | SNS Group Photo Sales

Celtic target sparks wild scenes with remarkable 119th minute winner to send club through in Europe
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC'S transfer interest in him emerged in the evening. Hours later, he was scoring the most dramatic of winners for his current club. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Celtic target Victor Eriksson scored an incredible European winner Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Eriksson is a popular figure among the Hammarby support Credit: Alamy It's already been a busy summer of transfers at Celtic but they aren't done yet. Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements with Manchester City kid Jahmai Simpson-Pusey set to be the next arrival at Parkhead. But the defensive signings might not end there. We told you earlier how the Hoops had been linked with a swoop for Swedish defender Victor Eriksson. SunSport columnist Alan Nixon has reported that Celtic's head of football operations Paul Tisdale has been to watch him in action for Hammarby. Towering centre-back Eriksson, 24, has excelled since returning to his homeland last year after a brief spell in the United States with Minnesota United. A product of hometown club Varnamo Sodra, he's also been capped once by Sweden. If he wasn't a name Celtic fans were familiar with before today, his remarkable European exploits on Thursday night might have made more take notice! Hammarby took on Belgian side Charleroi in a second round Conference League qualifier. The tie was deadlocked after a 0-0 first leg in Sweden. There wasn't much to separate the sides either in the second leg. Josef Erabi fired the Swedes into a first half lead before Charleroi hit back through Nikola Stulic inside the opening couple of minutes of the second 45. To extra time it went and it looked like there would be nothing to separate the sides. That was until Eriksson decided to have the final say in the 119th minute with penalties looming. A free-kick was floated into the box and with his back to goal, Eriksson watched the ball all the way, flicked it towards goal and found the net. There were absolutely WILD scenes of celebration as the Hammarby bench emptied as players, substitutes and coaches ran to join in some crazy celebrations by the corner flag. Unsurprisingly given the time, it proved to be the winning goal. Hammarby will now move on to face Norwegian outfit Rosenborg in the third qualifying round. Should Celtic wish to swoop for the 6ft 4in stopper, they might struggle to land him. That's if Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg has anything to do with it. Asked after the game if he'd sell Eriksson for £2million, he simply said "no." Asked how much the defender would cost, Hellberg emphatically responded: "He is not for sale."
