Ianis Hagi needs Rangers 'patience' as dad Gheorghe insists 'he'll be BETTER than before'

Romanian footballing legend Gheorghe Hagi has tipped son Ianis to come back even better than before after his Rangers injury hell finally came to an end last month.

After suffering a serious knee injury in the Scottish Cup clash against Stirling Albion just over a year ago, it has been a year to forget on the sidelines for Hagi - especially after experiencing more highs than lows in a Rangers shirt until that point, including completing a famous comeback against Braga in the UEFA Europa League.

Hagi has had to wait in the wings whilst Malik Tillman and Todd Cantwell have all been signed in the attacking midfield spot he once called his own, and alongside a change in manager, the Rangers of present is much different to the Rangers that turned out when Hagi suffered his long-term injury in January 2022. But despite the change, the suffering and the long-awaited return from injury, father Gheorghe - formerly of Barcelona and Real Madrid - claims that his son has studied football differently whilst out of action and will return to the fold better for his time out.
