Club career

This section needs to be updated. (August 2021)

Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Juranović went through the ranks of the third-tier Dubrava, apart from a two-month stint at the nearby NK Croatia Sesvete academy. Making his third-level senior debut in the 2012–13 season, he first drew attention to himself by winning the Croatian leg of the Nike Chance competition for amateur players in early 2014, earning the right to vie for a spot in the Nike Academy team.[4] Not making the five-person cut,[5] however, he returned to his club. His club performances remained strong, and, touted by some media as the best player of the autumn leg of the 2014–15 Treća HNL Zapad,[6][7] he drew the attention of HNK Hajduk Split.

After signing a three-and-a-half-year contract with Hajduk Split in early 2015, he initially joined their third-tier B team, but was moved to the first team in April 2015 by the new manager Goran Vučević, and he made his Prva HNL debut in a 2–1 home loss against Rijeka.[8]

In June 2018, Juranović was selected in the Prva HNL team of the season for his performances during the 2017–18 season.[9]

Celtic

Juranovic signed for Scottish Premiership side Celtic in August 2021 from Legia Warsaw on a five-year deal. The transfer fee was a reported 2.5 million pounds. Despite playing the majority of his professional career as a right-back, Juranovic would start as a left-back during his introductory stage at Celtic, including his debut against Rangers at Ibrox. He would assume the role of Celtic's penalty taker in his first season, notably scoring against Real Betis,[10] Bayer Levurkusen[11] and three other times in the league. In December he was a member of Celtic's League Cup victory against Hibernian. His contributions to Celtic's title-winning defense would see him earn a spot in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year.[12] Scored an og in the game against Motherwell on 1st October 2022.

International career

On 6 September 2019, Croatia manager Zlatko Dalić called Juranović up from standby for the country's Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Slovakia and Azerbaijan, in light of Tin Jedvaj's injury.[13]

Personal life

Juranović is from the Dubrava area in the capital of Zagreb.[14]
