GLASGOW, SCOTLAND - MAY 04: Rangers' Ianis Hagi signals that he is injured lduring a William Hill Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium, on May 04, 2025, in Glasgow, Scotland. (Photo by Craig Foy/SNS Group via Getty Images)
Ianis Hagi’s contribution to the Glasgow Derby lasted just 17 minutes.
The Ibrox ace replaced Nedim Bajrami in the 66th minute then hobbled off down the tunnel in the 83rd minute with Bailey Rice taking his place.
With his contract up at the end of this season it looks unlikely that Hagi will be back for any of the three dead rubbers that Barry Ferguson’s side has to play.
The Romanian midfielder appeared to twist his knee diving for a penalty, after getting treatment on the pitch and appearing to recover he quickly disappeared up the tunnel, almost certainly ending his Ibrox career.
Not much controversy from Glasgow Derby. Bazza Ferguson has however stoked up debate in his Sky interview, & claimed Rangers should have had a penalty for Callum McGregor’s challenge on Ianis Hagi late in game. On-field ref Nick Walsh said no. VAR ref Andew Dallas said no… ? pic.twitter.com/6dEJsnzh3i

Having flopped in Spain, Italy, Belgium and Scotland it looks like Turkey will be the next stop off on Ianis’ career as he drifts towards obscurity.
Having cost £3m from Genk in the summer of 2020 Hagi will be on close to £30,000 a week, earlier this season he waived a bonus agreement in order to become a free agent when his contract expires.
Doesn’t look good for Ianis Hagi.
Really hope that isn’t too serious.

Remember just a couple of weeks ago after being papped out of the Europa league wee Barry was bragging about winning the last 5 games in the league,since then he has played 2 drawn 2,how’s that working out Benny.
That’s 7 games at ibrox without a win he has been responsible for 4 of them I think,ye things are definitely changing and getting better.
It should be time for the ALKIE Bomber Brown to show up again outside the stadium with his Rab C Nesbit jacket on with a bottle of Buckie sticking out his pocket shouting to see the deeds.
Hagi slapping the ipox sign on the walk of shame…that’s so disrespectful to wangers, it weally is..!!
Hagi’s da said that theRangers team should have been built around his boy when he was signed … remember ? A guy who injures himself when tying his shoe laces ! He was wearing a thick bandage on his hand yesterday …I wonder if he hurt himself combing his hair …poor soul ?
