Hagi admits Rangers Europa League nerves as he opens up on injury 'frustration'

Hagi admits Rangers Europa League nerves as he opens up on injury 'frustration'

IANIS HAGI has revealed he is feeling a mixture of happiness and nervousness ahead of the Europa League final.

The Rangers creative midfielder was ruled out for the season after a knee injury back in January.

But he is in Seville with his Rangers team-mates as he offers support from the sidelines.

Ahead of the match, Hagi told Sky Sports: "It's huge for everyone but right now all the feelings I have is just happiness but also nervous because it's a huge game and you can't control it you're not on the pitch, you're on the side now.

"But I have a lot of faith in the boys that we can deliver a good performance today."

Hagi admitted there remains frustration over his injury ending his role in the journey to the final, but is pleased he managed to contribute earlier in the competition.

"It is what it is, I think everyone played their own part in this story," said the 23-year-old.

"I did my part in the group stage. I'm really happy that after I got injured the team played really well in Europe and managed to put ourselves in a position where we can be in the history for his huge club.

"There will always be a little bit of frustration but at the same time you can't be happier for your teammates, the team, everyone that is involved with this club."

"The staff, medical staff, everyone back at the training ground."
