Rangers midfielder Ianis Hagi is making headlines with his impressive performances for the club’s B team, despite being sidelined from the senior squad. After a challenging summer that saw him unable to secure a transfer away from Ibrox, Hagi has turned his focus to helping the younger team while waiting for a chance to rejoin the first team.
This season, Hagi has not appeared in any league matches for Rangers. He spent last season on loan at Alaves and returned with hopes of reintegration, but he finds himself out of the first-team picture. In a recent B team match against Huddersfield Town at the Rangers Training Centre, Hagi was given a starting spot alongside summer signing Clinton Nsiala and a trialist, showcasing his skills in a 3-2 draw.
Hagi’s contributions were pivotal during the game. He provided an assist with a well-placed cross that set up Findlay Curtis for the opening goal. Although Huddersfield managed to equalize before halftime, Hagi responded by scoring a stunning free-kick that put Rangers back on level terms. The club’s academy account celebrated his goal, noting his exceptional technique as he struck the ball into the top corner.
In a dramatic finish, Hagi sealed the victory for his team with a decisive low shot in the final moments of the match. His performance underscores his talent and potential, raising questions about his future with the senior squad. Rangers manager Clement previously mentioned that the club does not foresee Hagi as a key player in the immediate future, advising him to explore other options.
As Hagi continues to excel in the B team, fans are left wondering if there might still be a path back to the first team for the gifted midfielder. His recent displays suggest that he has much to offer, and it will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds as the season progresses.
