After Michael Beale departed the team due to a lack of quality, following Scott Wright’s departure, the management faced a reduction in numbers on deadline day.

Despite failing to sign Samuel Edozie, Rangers have received an instant improvement thanks to the resolution of the Ianis Hagi controversy, as reported by The Daily Record.

What prompted the Rangers to turn Ianis Hagi around?

The agreement to return Hagi to the first team is reciprocal, although Clement was firm in his opinion just a few weeks ago:

“No, I cannot say anything now because there is not really a development for the moment.”

“We discussed it months ago, and we were very open and honest with his agent about the fact that we don’t see him as the Rangers’ next No. 10 for the next few years, and that he should look for other opportunities.”

“So that story stays the same and for sure, with (Nedim) Bajrami now in the building, you have this situation.”

Clement always sounded as if he envisioned Hagi occupying the present number 10 role, which has Tom Lawrence in top form.

Hagi has consistently played his best football for club and country from the right side.

Hagi’s two-footedness and ease on either side is also a bonus.

According to the Record, senior players intervened to resolve the standoff over Haig’s desire to play for Rangers.

Rangers are immediately stronger with Ianis Hagi’s comeback.

Hagi, at 25 years old, is still in his prime.

Despite a lack of success in La Liga with Deportivo Alaves, this player is a leader in the group with over 40 caps and experience in Europe.

Hagi, who has led his nation, has the potential to be a valuable addition to the team.

The players will have recognised this, as well as his playing abilities.

No offense to Cole McKinnon or Kieran Dowell, but whose name on the bench gives you more confidence, theirs or Hagi’s?

Similarly, opposing players will react if they see Hagi come off the bench.

He has never given anything less than his all, even when Beale limited him to early-round cup outings against sides like Morton.

All he wanted was to play for the Rangers, and he’s getting his wish.

As he stated, he has demonstrated his ability to contribute.

Hopefully, Hagi believes he has a point to prove, with Rangers and Philippe Clemwnt the beneficiaries.

If he does, he will be able to thank the older players.
