AliousHagi’s Shocking Rangers Return Confession Revealed After Ibrox Bombshell
Ianis Hagi has broken his silence on speculation linking him with a surprise return to Rangers, following his recent exit from Ibrox. The Romanian playmaker officially departed the club this summer after his contract expired, drawing a line under a five-year stint in Glasgow that began with high expectations and a £4 million move from Genk in 2020.
Initially a key figure under Steven Gerrard, Hagi made a strong impact during his debut campaign, netting eight goals and assisting 15 times as Rangers stormed to an unbeaten league title. However, his career took a sharp downturn due to injuries. A serious knee issue ruled him out for over a year, limiting his influence and halting his momentum.
Hagi was loaned to Spanish side Alaves for the 2023/24 season in a bid to regain fitness and form, and he returned to Rangers last season showing glimpses of his old self—scoring four goals and providing seven assists. Despite those efforts, the club made no move to renew his deal before Russell Martin’s arrival as head coach.
In the wake of his release, rumors swirled about a dramatic Ibrox comeback. However, his father, Romanian football legend Gheorghe Hagi, swiftly dismissed those claims. Speaking to *The Scottish Sun*, he said: “I read Ianis is returning to Rangers. That chapter is closed. He had a good spell there, but the decision on his future is entirely his.”
While Hagi’s contributions—especially during the invincible title-winning campaign—remain etched in the memories of Rangers supporters, his time was marred by injury setbacks and inconsistency. As the club enters a new era under Martin, it seems clear that both parties are ready to move forward, closing the book on one of Ibrox’s recent cult heroes.
