The guy needs a chance to show Big Phil what he can do

[@juicybear7696]

He needs to be sold now

[@ryancarr1997]

Want the lad to get a chance under clement think he’s got more to give us. It was Beale that treated him like crap bringing in Sam lammers to play in hagis position absolutely criminal. If we had a hagi at his very best for a season I’d think it would be a very successful season

[@rangersnut]

To be fair to Hagi it was insulting of Beale not to even give him a start against Greenock Morton.

[@ptopds]

Hello Cj, a Romanian here. From my perspective Ianis is a great player with a lot of vision and decent talent, what I think Rangers fans do not understand is particularly the traumatic experience he went through when he suffered the injury. He was a part of a documentary in Romania regarding how we qualified to the Euros where he talks a bit about his injury and almost ends up bursting in tears. When you have that reaction, it obviously is hard to put up the same performances with the same confidence as he used to have. What he needs right now is a lot of minutes, a lot of confidence which he didnt get at Alaves at all. It is frustrating because at the National Team he is very decent and contributes for the team, but never seemed to get a chance at club level especially after this injury.

[@Zombqvist]

Absolutely yes to giving him a chance.

[@alanbruce918]

Hagi has 100% got something. He was a big part of us winning the league because you might see the stats of that season but what is important most of his goals and assists he gets for rangers are when the game is a draw like 0-0 and the other team has every player defending. Those goals and assists should count for more sometimes. Of course he is impactful he just wants to do a little bit of magic and we should incourage that in our players even if it doesn't work because if we hagi back to what he was then he could be a big part of winning the league again. I think he should play for rangers again and I'd love for it to happen and that it goes well for him and us

[@jayd9521]

He's had a moments of brilliance we've all seen that. I do think big Phil could bring the best out the lad

[@nathanmillar2461]

For what we pay a fortune for, it’s crazy what he’s actually worth to us. Take him on give him game time and in my opinion he’s good enough to start for us.

[@wexfordranger]

A very intelligent player. I'd love to see him in CM pulling the strings, with an Ian Ferguson type of player alongside him. He doesn't dart around like Sima but if you watch him in games, he's always looking for gaps and trying to pick out the killer pass.

[@HeyitzGary89]

I still really rate hagi and would love to see him back in the team, he’s one of the only players who show real passion. But I get if we get a decent offer the club will take it.

[@head-Keeper]

Forget about nationalities what Rangers player would walk into that Romanian team apart from maybe Butland. None. Hagi is better than Lawrence.

[@cjnovo992]

Actually was a decent question that..wouldn't mind a few of them in our team 😭🤣

[@head-Keeper]

@@cjnovo992 defo, I do think he needs to improve spacial awareness sometimes when coming back to defend but give him another chance under Clement. The lad has two great feet and can turn a game. Maybe rose tinted glasses but look at what looks like we are keeping instead of Hagi!,

[@AllyQuinn-np9cg]

His last game fir rangers he showed mere passion than most of of our players

[@pauldrummond755]

Before his injury he was easily one of our best players in a league winning team. Watching him play in the euros he looks to be back at his best.

[@neilmckechnie6638]

Hagi is a team player. He was not the fastest but seems to have found an extra yard of speed, probably through improved training at Alaves. He has got excellent game intelligence and will shine with good players around him, all showing good movement and looking for the ball. Let's see what Big Phil sees in him when Hagi comes back home at the weekend. More consistent than Todd Cantwell and Tom Lawrence.

[@JoshAston23]

Must keep him. He's got bags of talent, great vision, can unlock a low block, can shoot from range, and most importantly he's industrious defensively (unlike a certain number 11 we have). Don't forget he's playing against much better opposition in Spain than in Scotland, so those goal contributions are not going to be double figures over there, especially with limited game time.

[@cinamar221]

Hagi should stay and PLAY !

[@alexmiller686]

Fair video CJ. He's one of the few gifted and two footed creative players at the club so not much of a risk for me. Cmon Phil, give the boy a chance 🥺

[@rach2135]

Hagi to me is exactly the type of player you want at rangers natural skill and good work ethic and want to play and be the best he can. I was at the cup game before he went on loan. He was working so hard and conducts himself so well. I watched him spend time with ball boys and you could see how much they took from that. I think clement could really help return to the player he was and get even better.

[@danielurie4556]

Hagi gives us something different in attack that no one else does , he loves it at ibrox , we even gave him a contract when injured to keep him here , Beales final nail in coffin for me was letting him go away on loan , he saved us many a time in important games before injury , get him back get him flying and he will make us big money also , we loaned hagi but kept and brought on Scott wright to save us in games , hagi under clement fully fit he gives us that something different wether it’s starting or from the bench something it’s obvious we didn’t have last season

[@laughatfootball]

We need a number 10 that can score and assist. If we’re not going to buy one then Hagi is the next best option.

[@joebidenshandler2149]

Last time Hagi was good in a Rangers shirt was when Ryan Kent was playing well. Long time ago

[@shikariE25]

He spent over a year out with injury. Ffs 🤡

[@cjnovo992]

Hello again 👀 apologies about earlier the second half of the video went out of sync during the upload ( no idea why ) hope it's fixed now.. Hagi impressed some at the euros..was it enough?

[@bobsyme3118]

Exactly bro,he's already good and we've no see n the best out of him yet.And he is our player has been for year,at least a couple of years and try as make some Money.beale's a faking.fs damage he did.realy hope he stays for a bit

[@ronniemac2636]

Iannis Hagi is necessary for European football squad. Remember him?

[@stevesheret7354]

If Cantwell is going, then the obvious player in that position is Hagi. Not fast enough for the wings, but a cracking AM. He's always scored good goals for us

[@rancidnut]

Clement could possibly improve him beyond how he was before... He has to at LEAST assess Hagi with his own eyes in pre-season. Even at 80% he's better than what we have in the building.

[@davidalanbirrell5403]

[@iwilson227]

Hagi deserves a chance to prove himself to big phil. Better than half the dross weve got

[@Achnacon1]

After the way Hagi was treated by Beale, he is at least owed another chance at Rangers. That's without taking into account the obvious class of the lad.

[@JohnThomson-nn8uk]

Hagi is a Rangers player and needs to be welcomed back with open arms,the boy has talent and under Clement I believe next to Butland will be one of our best players if given a chance 👍

[@RoryCampbell-oq2xw]

Totally agree. He's a talented player still under contract with us. I think we would be mad to punt him for very little money when we could actually play him in the right position and have a manager coach him properly for the benefit of the team and club

[@stephenlenaghan4566]

Good video from CJ.🔴⚪🔵🇬🇧

[@callan6160]

Hagi comes back, Hes better than cantwell and lawrence i just dont see it and idk if he really wants to be at the club after Beale

[@Essydyk]

I think he has mentally checked out from us. I think all things considered and after his injury if we can get our money back it's good business at this point. I think with his showing at the the Euros it does at least prove he is fit and ready to go so hopefully somebody takes a punt on him. I am just not entirely sure he is cut out for the rough and tumble of Scottish football.

[@matthewedmiston6918]

He was really good when he was fit and with the young mob we have pacey wanting to prove how good they are I think his assists would go right up , I'd like to see him given a few games at least, nice one matey 👏.

[@harrycampbell-nu3jh]

He has got to at least get a chance to show Clement what’s he’s capable of in pre-season, if it doesn’t work fair enough but he’s our player, he deserves a chance

[@quantumskyline]

I'd also say that for rangers it would be great to keep him but for the lad he will want to be a starter and I don't think Clement will give him that chance. I think we need to cash in

[@Andrei_D.]

He is only 25. With a good manager he can still grow. His father was bought by Real Madrid at 25 and played for Romania with the best results at the FIFA World Cup between 25-33. Ianis is not his father, but you could miss his best years if you sold him now. In any case, he will join a good team, I don't know if he wants to go to Turkey, but Mourinho was interested in him.

[@normant4973]

Would be mad not trying him at 10. He's as good, if not better than what we currently have. Apart from big mo, he's a legend.

[@Nicole-hn8oe]

For me it depends on who else is going/ staying and if anyone even comes in for him… but if it’s him or scotty wright, I’d rather hagi tbf

[@Steve0272.]

Saying he's leaving it to his agents maybe implies it's for them to sort him a new contract elsewhere , im sure the gaffers made it clear to him if he wants him to stay or not, personally I say keep him until Xmas that gives him enough time to impress or not , but still allows us to get some money for him if hes sold

[@davidphillips1500]

A wanted to sell him originally but rather than spend money on another central midfielder and concentrate funds on more centre backs and strikers for me. Let’s give hagi lad a go, but Lawrence and dowell, wright be good get rid of them

[@jamieraffan1519]

I hope he stays he will do more in that role behind the attacker than cantwell, Lawrence and dowell. Under PC he will thrive and a good season we will make mulla

[@CBC-WATP]

Unfortunately Hagi’s biggest flaw has always been his lack of pace and that hasn’t changed! Given also that PC seems to be intent on addressing that particular issue within the squad then I really don’t see where he could fit into PC’s vision for the future? Also I don’t think that Hagi’s stock will ever be greater than it currently might be after his appearance at the Euros therefore this might be the best chance for us to get a return on him financially?

[@robertbinnie6896]

Keep him and give him the chance now that he's injury free. Clement could be good for him unlike beale, hagi definitely has talent and as you rightly pointed out can play with either foot

[@Orvilp79-wx2br]

Wouldn't have loaned him out. The boy is a good player. If we sell him it must be for good money. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@iainchisholm79]

I would love to give Hagi preseason to have a look at him before just selling him, We could regret it.

[@stuartstevenson5341]

I feel hagi should have a chance but selling him now his stock is rising is also a considerable move. Depends on Clements system if he will suit the role.

[@alanmcnamara7643]

I sincerely HOPE that big Phil brings him home and tells him "you play well, you'll be in my starting 11". I do think that Ianis can still be a big addition to our team. He showed enough in the minutes on the pitch he had before beale threw his teddy out the pram, to tell me that he can help us. For me, I put aside his season in Spain because 1) it was a comeback season from a bad injury and 2) They were not set up to get the best out of him. The big question for me is; does Ianis WANT to come back? Did the beale experience put him off playing for us again? I hope I'm wrong here but I think it has put him off playing for us again and if the right club comes in for him, he'll be off. I WANT him to stay, I think he SHOULD stay but SADLY, I don't think he will. As an aside to my opinion on this; I've seen the latest photos of the work at Ibrox and I believe the chances of Ibrox being ready for the end of August/beginning of September are ZILCH. I was told a rumour and I stress it is a RUMOUR, that it will be DECEMBER before it's ready. Regardless of it being September or December, the cost of this work and the delay (thus losing us matchday revenue) will make a serious dent in our transfer budget for sometime to come and therefore having a player of Ianis's ability and it not costing us a penny is worth a punt.

[@Willie.J]

I really like Hagi, he definitely has something that Clement would bring out in him 🇬🇧

aye let us take a chance on him ,i think hes a brilliant player ,lets see if he can be great again,look at the players weve put up with this season ,and last ,i think hes worth betting on ,

[@F7GOS]

Lad needs a chance under Phil. Known Quantity, never hid and, like you say.. is here. I just hope his agent is as competent as Cantwells so he doesn't get shipped out. Theres always January and he has a long contract. If someone really wants him now, they will also really want him in January for a couple of quid less. Makes no sense not to give him the run out.

[@370DatsunZed]

I'd take him back in a heartbeat! If Phil can get a song out of last season's team, he can get a tune out of Haji...worth a shot!

[@stevensmith4896]

PC said that it’s a clean slate and all players will be assessed. Hagi should be no different. I’ve always rated him and would keep personally.

[@marcmclean241]

Definitely want him to stay and be given a chance. He was tremendous in the 55 season and it was a shame the injury messed things up. Been impressive at the Euros. Only reason he was away was cos Beale's fragile ego couldn't take some criticism.

[@davidallandonnelly4467]

I remember Steve G rating Hagi as a very intelligent player he was treated very badly by Beale and absolutely he should be given the chance to see what big Phil can do with him its a no brainer for me. Mon The Gers

[@RoryCampbell-oq2xw]

The guy needs a chance under Clement. It's almost like another signing because we haven't seen him play consistently for a long time. There is talent in the boy. If Clement is a good man manager, he should be able to get something out of him.

[@Weeji_420]

He's got to go if somebody is offering money. It's unfortunate that we had such a joker of a manager at the time when he should've been giving a chance. It's too late now. He's amazingly slow. After the injuries he's never getting back to what he was, and he wasn't that good at his peak either, still slow lol. We need a new era, they all need to go, especially the injury prone guys. Thanks for your time Hagi, goodbye.

[@Brizie.B]
