Career
Mladenović joined Rangers from Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade for £1.1m in August 2004.[1] He made his Rangers debut against Hibernian on 21 August 2004.[2] However, he failed to settle at Ibrox and was subsequently loaned out to Real Sociedad in January 2005.[3] 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.[4] 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.
