Ianis Hagi's father has launched a scathing attack on the Romanian national team for excluding his son from crucial EURO 2024 qualifying games.
Romanian legend Gheorghe has been fuming in recent weeks over Ianis' exclusion despite not playing for the best part of a year at Rangers due to a severe injury sustained last year. The winger has been crocked for some time but Michael Beale was keen to stress the 24-year-old still has an important role to play in his system.
Hagi was snubbed ahead of Romania's campaign and dad Gheorghe - who made over 120 appearances for his country - has blasted boss Edward Iordănescu for the decision. It is believed, according to reports in his homeland, that Hagi Snr's comments haven't done any wonders for Ianis' reputation among his team-mates.
