Ianis Hagi believes that he can finally end his Rangers injury nightmare by returning to full match fitness in around three weeks' time - which would leave him able to return for the League Cup final against Celtic at Hampden Park.
The Romanian international picked up a horrible injury over a year ago in a Scottish Cup tie against Stirling Albion to leave Giovanni van Bronckhorst scrambling for a midfield addition and ruing the loss of the Romanian superstar. It took over a year for Hagi to return to the playing field for the first team, and that came in the 3-0 win over St Johnstone last weekend to a rapturous Ibrox applause.
He hasn't played since but was on the bench against Ross County and he reckons it will be three-to-four weeks before he is back to full fitness. And, with Rangers set to take on bitter rivals Celtic at Hampden Park in the Viaplay Cup final on February 28, Hagi is plotting a romantic return to help his side seal silverware.
