Ianis Hagi Rangers transfer exit theory sparks dad Gheorghe meltdown as Celta Vigo chat branded 'stupid' in heated rant

Fuming Gheorghe Hagi has shut down claims that son Ianis could leave Rangers this summer - insisting speculation over a switch away from Ibrox was "stupid".

Despite returning to first-team action after a 13-month layoff with a serious knee injury, the playmaker is still working his way back to becoming an Ibrox regular with his only start coming in the Scottish Cup victory over Partick Thistle. Michael Beale has opted to give the 24-year-old minutes off the bench as he builds up his fitness levels, but showed his faith in the Romania international when he handed him a new Ibrox contract as one of his first acts as boss.

Hagi has a deal until 2026, but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill going into overdrive with the summer window rapidly approaching. It has been claimed that Celta Vigo talent spotter Luis Campos was keen on a £3million move to bring Hagi to La Liga, while reports in Romania suggest a loan move to FCV Farul Constanta could be on the cards.
