Pršo received 32 caps for Croatia and was part of the squad at Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006. He retired in June 2007 from the Scottish Premier League
club Rangers
.
. He was then briefly in Hajduk Split, and then in the second-league team NK Pazinka from Pazin
, without making much impact in any of these clubs. In 1993 he moved to France
to play for FC Rouen
, and then moved to Saint Raphael
in 1995, where he worked as a car mechanic

manager Jean Tigana
noticed Pršo and bought the striker, although he would spend that season in the reserve side (alongside David Trezeguet
), he was sent on loan to AC Ajaccio
. In 1999, he helped AS Monaco win the national championship
. Pršo also helped them to the UEFA Champions League
final in 2004. He is perhaps best remembered for his four-goal performance in the 8-3 win over Deportivo La Coruña (a game which was played on his birthday), which was the highest scoring Champions League scoreline. That night, he also equaled the competition record, joining Marco van Basten (A.C. Milan

on a free transfer. In his first season at Rangers he played 34 league matches, scoring 18 league goals. In the process he helped the club win the League and League Cup. Departing Rangers manager Alex McLeish
hailed Pršo as his "best Rangers signing," at the end of the 2005-06
season.
Pršo remained a member of the 2006-07 Rangers team
, despite announcing his retirement from international football. He suggested he would retire from club football on the expiration of his contract in 2007. Despite this, Pršo's agent stated early in 2007 that he would like to continue playing for Rangers if his fitness allowed it, only to announce in February 2007 that his retirement was potentially imminent. Shortly afterwards, it was confirmed that Pršo could play on for a minimum of one season. But this comment proved to be premature as Pršo announced he would part company with Rangers at the end of the 2007 season due to his recurring knee problems. Pršo's agent also stated that he would seek a transfer to a league where physical fitness was not as much of a requirement, rather than end his footballing career completely, and suggested North America
and Asia
as possible destinations.
At Pršo's last game at Ibrox Stadium
, he walked out after the final whistle wearing a brace on his leg due to damage to his ankle. He waved at the 50,000 fans who waited, and was then given the "Guard of Honour" by his teammates, led by Barry Ferguson
before going back up the tunnel with tears in his eyes.
It was announced on 8 June 2007 that Rangers would release a DVD featuring highlights of Pršo's three seasons at Ibrox, with a large amount of proceeds donated to the Rangers Charity Foundation.
