Rangers ‘stuck’ with Ianis Hagi after agent admission | OneFootball

It’s become apparent that among the never-ending list of bad decisions Rangers FC have made in recent years, that offering injured Ianis Hagi a four-year extension in late 2022 is up there as one of the big doozies.

A ‘masterpiece’ from then-manager Michael Beale and then-Sporting Director Ross Wilson, Rangers extended the injured Romanian to 2026, in what goes down as yet another horrendous piece of historical management by this club, especially given Friday’s news from his agent.

And Friday’s news from Hagi’s man is that they concede it will be immeasurably hard to find a buyer for the playmaker, and that he will have to be loaned out again.

The ridiculous part?

Beale, having praised Hagi and having said he looked forward to working with the lad once fit again, was the one to dump him out on loan barely 6 months later.

This is yet more of Rangers’ bad management at boardroom and football management level, and we can’t say present day we’re seeing much improvement on either front.

From Hagi’s preposterous extension to the chaos with the Copland upgrade, this club is so horrifically run these days that it’s not hard to see why we lag behind Celtic in far too many ways.

They’re no great shakes either, but let’s face it, they’re better-run than we are.

And rotten decisions like Hagi, like the two-year extension for Jon McLaughlin, and pretty much 90% of all of the rest of the club calls in recent years really do scream of incompetence.

Some fans are probably arguing that we should give Hagi a chance at Rangers – based on a couple of bright performances for Romania.

Unfortunately a horrible season in Spain in club football, aka the stuff that matters, puts paid to that idea.

His stock is rock bottom, and frankly no one wants him.

If he’s not good enough for anyone else, why is he good enough for Rangers?
