At this moment in time, it’s hard to know what Philippe Clement has planned for Ianis Hagi at Rangers once he returns from his loan in Spain.
The Romanian player was sent to Alaves before the Belgian manager took over at Rangers, meaning the two have never had a chance to work together to date.
However, with things not going to plan in Spain at the moment, the Rangers loanee has to make the most of his chances with his national team, with AS in Romania suggesting that’s exactly what he’s trying to do.
They report that Hagi, alongside two of his teammates Denis Albec and Valentin Mihaila, ‘put on a total show’ in the first major training session of the international break.
Backheels, chips and ‘sensational goals’ were all on the agenda, as the Rangers man was keen to impress, pulling off some ‘spectacular dribbles’ in the process.
He has a point to prove, as he knows he isn’t getting much of a chance at Alavés, playing just 53 minutes of LaLiga football since the turn of the year.
Therefore, he’s trying to showcase what he’s capable of with Romania, with the two games against Northern Ireland and Colombia the perfect platform to show Rangers and Philippe Clement that he can still have a role to play at Ibrox next season, with his future there likely riding on the next few months.
