Found the answer :

(defn secondlast [coll]
    (let [number 0
          counter (- (count coll)2) ]
      (loop [coll coll counter counter number number]
        (if (= counter number)
          (first coll)
          (recur (next coll) counter (+ number 1))))))

and without the loop there will be : (first(drop(reverse v))
