Celtic defender backed for permanent transfer exit
Nawrocki has joined Hannover on loan and the Bundesliga 2 side have an option to buy the 24-year-old if he impresses.
German boss Runjaic was in charge of Legia Warsaw when they agreed to sell Nawrocki to Celtic for £4.3 million two years ago.
And he's backed him to go on and prove himself in Germany.

Runjaic said: "Perhaps his move to Celtic came a bit too early for him.
"But I trust him to make a big impression in the second division of German football.
"He is a very good guy, calm on the ball and he is very technically adept, he has a good passing game and is powerful in the air.
"I would assume he has matured a lot at Celtic in Scottish football.
"He can play in a back four or a back three.
"He has potential and I would expect Hannover to exercise their purchase option in a year."

Arensman wins Tour de France 19th stage as Pogacar retains yellow jersey
LA PLAGNE, France, July 25 (Reuters) - Thymen Arensman claimed his second victory in this year's Tour de France when he benefited from the top guns' waiting game to prevail in the 19th stage, the last mountain trek of the race on Friday. The Ineos Grenadiers rider, whose team have been facing doping questions related to their glorious days as Team Sky, went solo in the final climb to La Plagne before crossing the line two seconds ahead of Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar, who were second and third respectively. Slovenian Pogacar retained the overall leader's yellow jersey and leads Vingegaard by 4:24 going into the final two stages and is widely expected to win a fourth title if he avoids a major incident. German Florian Lipowitz took fourth place on the shortened stage to cement his third place overall, stretching his advantage over fourth-placed Oscar Onley of Britain by 41 seconds to 1:03. It would have taken a colossal coup from Vingegaard to topple Pogacar on the final mountain test in the Alps, but the Visma-Lease a Bike rider only tried within the last 100 metres to take two seconds off of the Slovenian's lead, with Pogacar emerging as the puppet master of the peloton. A leading trio featuring France's Lenny Martinez and Valentin Paret Peintre as well as former Tour runner-up Primoz Roglic, reached the Col du Pre with a small gap of a chasing group after a brutal 12.2-km ascent at 7.7%. The peloton, controlled by Pogacar's UAE Emirates-XRG, trailed by less than a minute. With two kilometres left in the climb up to the Cormet de Roselend (5.9km at 6.9%), Paret Peintre and Roglic shook off Martinez, but only briefly as the Bahrain-Victorious rider clawed his way back. Roglic went solo in the descent into Bourg Saint Maurice, dropping Martinez and Paret Peintre, who were quickly caught by the bunch. Roglic was then swallowed two kilometres before the final climb and spat out immediately. Austrian Felix Gall, gunning for a top five finish in Paris, accelerated 14.5km from the finish with Arensman, Pogacar and Vingegaard reacting. Pogacar made his own move 14km from the top with Vingegaard and Arensman the only riders able to get into his slipstream. Pogacar eventually let Arensman go and seemed content with setting a decent tempo to keep the Dutchman within reach, but the Slovenian eventually did not make the effort to go for a fifth stage win this year.

Robin Propper finally set to compete Rangers transfer exit
The Ibrox defender is expected to complete a transfer move to return to his former club, FC Twente. Propper had been heavily involved under Philippe Clement at [[Rangers]] but fell out of the first-team picture after the Belgian boss was dismissed. The centre-back had been heavily linked with a return to Twente, the club he left to join Rangers. Reports last week had revealed a contract stand-off due to his contract terms offered at Twente being less than his Rangers wages. However, as reported by The Rangers Review, the issues have now been resolved, with sources confident the move will go through. Read more: Russell Martin confirmed a transfer offer had been accepted for Propper with the defender set to return to Twente in the near future. It comes after Twente technical director Jan Streuer threatened to move on from Propper unless a deal could be agreed after a protracted process. He said: "All sorts of factors beyond your control (dictate transfers). Just before last season, our captain Robin Propper left at the last minute. "We really missed him. Rangers bought him. A top Scottish club. You can't compete with them. "Now there's a new manager at Rangers, he might play less. Then he might be able to return. "But he'll want to wait and see first if he actually plays less. We have to decide: do we wait for that or do we see what happens next?"
