Ianis Hagi as opened his heart on the mental anguish of coping with the ACL injury that robbed him of more than a year of his career - and insisted he will become a better player than he was before.
Rangers’ Romanian midfielder scored his first goal in 16 months in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Hibs and his emotional celebration with the entire Ibrox team showed what it meant to him. Now he’s ready to kick on next season to become a major part of Michael Beale’s rebuilt Rangers.
Hagi said: “One thing is for sure, I have never doubted myself since the injury. I know how much work I put in and how much I love this sport. The challenges I have ahead, and I have had them before as well, they are definitely not as big as my ambition. So the only way I see it is I have to go through it, surpass them so I can tick all the boxes and be 100 per cent back to what I was before.
