PRESS CONFERENCE | Philippe Clement | 02 Oct 2024

[@Lstu91]

Hagi will be like a new signing excellent news , let's get a good result tomorrow and keep the winning streak going WATP

[@RyboBBurn]

Genuinely exited and very happy to hear about Hagi.

[@mickeymcwilliam5930]

We must get a top performance, please RANGERS.

[@graemero5532]

Delighted Hagi is back in the 1st team squad 🔴⚪🔵 WATP

[@Demondoink1]

At least we have a manager who actually adapts to his opponents in Europe and doesn’t just play the exact same style. I’d take a draw tomorrow tbh. Lyon seem to have a budget similar to Dortmund, and we seen how that worked out last night.

[@user-jp7tj7ty8m]

yeh not gonna be easy. defend well and take chances...same old story

[@garybrown353]

Wid love him tae adapt tae the mankies, his tactics keep gettin shown up against them.

[@MaximusDecimusMeridius97]

Not quite, Dortmund valued at £200m more than Lyon

[@CafeMambo1982]

First choice gk fell out the wi the manager not available,twice they’ve been beaten by ten men this season already,make no mistake about it,they are there for the taking if the players put in the hard yards tomorrow night

[@dyl7729]

@@garybrown353aye watch this we’ll get a result against Lyon who would skelp celtic, they only have the mental edge over us if we overcome that we’d realise they’re not as good as everyone says in Scotland

[@stephenlenaghan4566]

Come on rangers you know you can beat Lyon.🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧

[@iainjohnston788]

I don’t support Rangers but I love watching Lawrence play , to me his style of play has flecks of pure genius, terrific player ,if you don’t want him he can come play for the Bully Wee . WRTFBW

[@GetItRightUpYees]

Lawrence isn’t a 40-50 game a season man,so integrate our most loyal player Hagi back in,he deserves a shout.

[@Demondoink1]

Our most loyal player? He said a couple months ago that he wanted to leave 😂😂😂

[@Lb__92-z1u]

@@Demondoink1did he tho ? We agreed the pay rise after so many games and he’s wiped it to get back to the first time while showing up and smashing it in the B team , look at cantwell fs he bounced till he got a move , Hagi deserves a shot

Or bonus after so many games I’m no 100% if it was bonus or pay rise

[@killerjames33]

@@Demondoink1 He didn't want to leave. He was looking around because he was told he wouldn't play under his current contract.

[@deanolt]

Hagi gets better every week he doesn't play. Think people need to temper their expectations with him!

[@craigdow6038]

he's more effective than Matondo and the rest... Hagi makes things happen. We've missed that (especially all of last season).

[@GrumpyGer]

Nah he is a good player, Clement should play him as a 10 and see him at his best.

[@stuartallison5000]

Agree, let’s just see if he gets minutes, it’s not as if he was MOM every game when he played, I get he has done well with the B team but he needs to do it consistently with first team, I would say he has potential to be a great player if he is consistent and stays injury free, that’s a big “IF”

[@badly_dubbed2401]

Exactly, he's been playing glorified friendlies and never been near one of Phil's training sessions. Be months before he's seen.

[@ThomasKelly669]

Having Ianis back is brilliant, he is a leader who has stepped up,

[@CafeMambo1982]

Not for many years. Let’s give him a fair crack at trying to get in the team

Don't think the manager is a fan of hagi which is a pity really he will fight for the Jersey and he's quality ❤

[@charlotteborland2105]

Come on rangers

[@wmsstuff271]

Still getting the impression Phil isn'y impressed with Hagi at all.

[@bobbyfindlay6863]

A think the board stopped him playing hagi, and after window it's took till now to get board to see sense can't get alot cash for a good player playing in b team

[@LoVeMuSic-r3n]

Hope Hagi proves PC wrong!

[@adrianduncan7228]

Lol

[@Aftertwelve791]

I love having hagi back - but clement hasn’t been very comfortable answering these questions and I don’t think this ‘internal issue’ is finished

[@Kfish55]

In Phil we trust

[@badly_dubbed2401]

He doesn't seem particularly keen on Hagi and this is likely more of a financial decision. If both parties really wanted it to happen, this would have been sorted ages ago and not 3 months into the season. Everyone seems to think he's our saviour based on very little evidence.

[@TeddyBears.]

It's upto us as usual to put the pride back in scottish football in europe, let's show everyone how it's done, I believe in you. 🔴⚪️🔵

[@user-jp7tj7ty8m]

[@lwbraveheart4096]

Cerny couldnt finish his dinner

[@jmckenzie5402]

I think the point around "players need to treat each opponent in the same way" i personally think we have not put the same effort into league games that we do in Europe.. it frustrates the hell out of me.

[@OasisWullie1872]

Hagi has always given his all for Rangers and will just keep it up,All Good man

[@zedleviafen7383]

Thursday nights are lacazette nights

[@Whatever10000]

I don't like the way clement speaks about players who are on ranger's books, he bad mouths Hagi, he done the same with cantwell and several other players before more or less giving them away for free. You wouldn't do this with anything else you were trying to sell. Like, you want to buy my car? It only has 2 wheels and starts when it feels like it. That's how clement speaks about his players.

[@edwardvalentine376]

If there wasn't an issue, he would've been training with the first team surely

[@thomasmarshall3021]

Hagi we all know what the boy can bring to the team

[@stephenmcarthur-yn1gl]

so glad hagi is back he deserves a chance like everyone else got 🔴⚪️🔵🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Clement doesn't looks happy.

[@ianhamilton1872]

Clement mentions the gulf in money excuse yet again ,Gio did it once and was hammered for it...double standards..

[@justgaming2600]

no really an excuse though is it? When some teams either EL/CL are worth more than the WHOLE SPL combined. Clubs like liverpool, dortmund are using guys or have guys on the bench that are worth more than our full team. Think about that, 1 player worth more than all RFC players combined. like yeah, we should still try our best and no surrender but still, there's a reality to the world of where we are in football now.

[@Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Doesn’t seem keen having Hagi back 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@richardkirkham8064]

Rangers are a championship club. Get real ! No chance

[@theboybrand]

Clement still being evasive regarding Hagi. Is he suggesting he isn't fit enough for the weekend if there is still a way to go or what the hell does he mean? 😄

[@JoshAston23]

He hasn't been training with the first team and has barely played a match for 2.5 years. He might be injury-free but he will be a long way off being 'match-fit'. Will also need time on the training pitch to learn Clement's tactics and build up connections with the rest of the squad.

[@HazelMcW]

Time he left ,clueless after a year and take captain useless with you .....this team that I cant even call Glasgow Rangers is the worst even worse than 2015 ....resign or go back to Belguim It's great to see one of the happy clappers social media forums (FF)closing down any criticism of captain useless, protecting him again,so they don't lose their freebies from the defunct board

[@PervcoPlasticPaddy]

PC makes some very strange statements.

Hagi in team he's quality player ahead of the rest

[@gavinquinn2219]

Zaha running at Tav as well as the middle of the park is going to be very important tomorrow night. Come on the Rangers!!!!!!!!!

[@GrumpyGer]

Tav is going yo be torn a new one. All we can hope is others do enough to bail him out. He is slowing down Cernys game, everyone has to adapt to accommodate Tav. It's putting him before the club and team. Crap. If Clement is any kind of manager he will drop him soon. Especially if he takes a pummeling.

[@ourwilliam2405]

Silly questions again

[@GrumpyGer]

What the Fuq is that about, Hagi is not an option yet? The guys been playing and keeping sharp. Whats the problem? I don't think Clement was smart when asked how far off Hagi was and he said, "you want it in miles or kilometres?" Thats not how you repair a problem and bring a guy back into the fold by making a fool of him. On one hand hagi was professional and now he says that. I think if Clement isn't careful he could have the players turn against him with the way he is treating folk, if thats any indication of how sly he can be slipping out. I was pleased with Malmo but I still don't have a great feeling about Clement. Lets see how tomorrow goes and our next few league games. The league is more important.

[@badly_dubbed2401]

He's been in the B team playing glorified friendlies. Not even trained with the first team until recently.

[@eaglekeeper7608]

I feel that Phil knows hes a bad result or two away from real pressure mounting on him. I’m hoping and praying that this squad and Clement prove me wrong but deep down I fear for this season.

[@OasisWullie1872]

Absolutely nobody whould have ever thought of Hagi being dropped to the gers bteam and then probs in the game at some period in against lyon ,This Rangers board zre totally hopeless, We will 👀.
