After successful months in Switzerland, Slovenian international Žan Celar decided to take a step forward in his career following the conclusion of Euro 2024. He left Lugano and moved to London, where he signed with Queens Park Rangers.

The 25-year-old is yet to score in the league after 3 matches and 138 minutes, but he has helped the London club advance in the league cup.
QPR faced Luton, which played in the Premier League last season. The regular time ended with a 1:1 draw, and the match was decided by penalties, where the hosts were notably more composed. QPR converted all four of their penalty attempts, while Luton missed twice, and the game was decided halfway through the fourth round of penalties.
Žan Celar started the match in his club’s starting eleven and remained on the pitch until the end. He also participated in the “lottery,” actually being the first to take on the responsibility. His attempt from 11 meters was enough to beat Thomas Kaminski, Luton’s goalkeeper. The Gorenjec thus scored for the first time since moving to the Island, though the goal will not be recorded in the statistics, it will be more than enough for a confidence boost…
