Keith Jackson claims the Rangers have created a mess of Ianis Hagi’s contract predicament.
The Daily Record journalist has criticized the Gers for how they handled the Romanian playmaker’s contract at Ibrox, which expires at the end of the season.
It’s “incredible” for Jackson to witness, yet the 26-year-old is thought to be open to fresh terms due to a contract extension option.
On Hotline Live (20 January), he stated: “Rangers aren’t a particularly well-run club.
“Not even close to being a well-run club. The contractual position, the mess they’ve made of the entire Hagi business, has been amazing since the beginning.”
Rangers need to agree new Ianis Hagi contract
Hagi has returned to his best at the Glaswegian outfit since coming back into Philippe Clement’s plans.
The Romania international was frozen out of the squad at the start of the season and wasn’t afforded any minutes with the first team.
After a poor start to the campaign, the Belgian manager had to make a few changes to his plans, one of which was reintegrating the 26-year-old into the starting lineup.
Hagi has started for Rangers in the last five Scottish Premiership fixtures, scoring one goal and providing an assist.
Along with Vaclav Cerny, the former Genk midfielder has been one of the best players at the Gers over the last few months.
There is renewed hope among the Ibrox faithful of ending the season on a high note, with the Scottish Cup up for grabs after the 5-0 win over Fraserburgh on Sunday (19 January).
Hagi has become a lynchpin to the Light Blues’ success, and it would make sense for them to agree fresh terms with him before the summer.
Losing a player like the Romanian ace for free would be a big blow for the Bears.
