It is my opinion that with Paul Clement not choosing to play Hagi in the first team he is guilty of a dereliction of duty.
Hagi is clearly the best option for the no.10 at ibrox.
Like dislike (like me) the no.10 position for us, it doesn’t matter Hagi is the best no10 we have.
Again Clement's decisions need to be called into question.
I’d also put Lowry in that bracket, but mostly Hagi.
Far better player than Lawrence.
What’s he going to do WHEN Lawrence get injured? Who’s he going to play in 10? Dowell? God help us man.
11 Aug 2024 14:27:29
Because the manager feels Lawrence a better option at 10 than Hagi, and a lot would agree including myself, got to say was never that impressed with Hagi, lacked pace and his shooting was dreadful, well document what the issues are with Lowry, and if you don’t train well then not much hope.
Cantwell would have featured but he wants away so currently the best option is playing,
11 Aug 2024 14:34:36
I agree 100% hagi had a good euros and a good player. All the posters on here that say he’s not good etc haven’t got a clue. We desperately need someone that can create in the midfield. We need him in the team. Been disillusioned with the players we’ve sold and been brought into replace them.
11 Aug 2024 14:39:38
We have failed consistently for years to try and play with a 10 and have failed by spending millions to get a 10.
11 Aug 2024 14:51:49
TBH, I thought Hagi was poor at the euros. Best for both parties if he leaves this window.
11 Aug 2024 14:54:56
Hagi couldn't get a game for alaves last season so what makes you think he'd be better than Lawrence.
11 Aug 2024 15:04:41
Stevie, Hagi wants away and it's only him that can change it mate, Clement doesn't see him as part of our future this is all down to what Hagi and his Agent have told him.
11 Aug 2024 15:10:41
We’ve never played Hagi in the 10 as we didn’t play with one when he was signed and he’s been injured for over a year.
Why wouldn’t ye just give him a chance to play while your paying him atleast. Abso nothing to lose.
11 Aug 2024 15:22:21
Nothing to lose with the boy. He played 26 games for alaves last year although as a squad player in a league far better than ours. Give him a chance as there’s something seriously missing from our midfield.
11 Aug 2024 15:24:44
He’s been told Stevie that he isn’t going to be a first team pick so him and the club decided best for everyone that he found a new club, this is not new it happened when Beale was the manager, that’s why he isn’t getting a chance or fighting for his place in the squad currently, let’s be honest to win the league we are going to need better than Hagi and Lawrence, up for debate but for who is available for selection Lawrence is getting the nod.
11 Aug 2024 15:29:52
In my opinion Hagi does not improve us, we need considerably better and I back PC with both Hagi and Cantwell.
11 Aug 2024 15:36:12
Rosevale the stats say Hagi has a better go's to game average than lawrence Hagi can at least keep the ball and protect it Lawrence loses the ball more than any other player on the pitch bar dessers.
11 Aug 2024 15:38:37
And I've got to agree dumping Hagi in reserves when our squad is this weak is madness also when Hagi was playing his best stuff for us he was in the ten role he was shunted out wide after injury.
Our club is acting stupidly over players no matter who you believe is the better player.
11 Aug 2024 15:40:10
Hagi is not a good player at all - he thinks he is though - PC correct not to play him if he thinks same ??????.
11 Aug 2024 15:51:33
Hagi scored a hat-trick for the B team yesterday.
He is a player that loves the club, wants to stay and has no attitude problems. The only thing he wants is to play, not every game, but wants to be part of the action, be considered an important player and given a chance to contribute. He is the type of player that needs support and trust from the management and supporters. That's why he left last year (he made a mistake, Beale was proven not to be professional) .
The bottom line is that Rangers makes a big mistake by not playing him, it devalues his market value and not uses a player (never did) in his best position, #10, a position that we cry for reinforcement. What's the logic in that?
11 Aug 2024 16:01:14
Disagree not in plans so should not be near the first team, it will get more people interested when they know a deal can be done, always a team out there who think they can get the best out him and Cantwelland both will be off before window shuts.
11 Aug 2024 16:05:15
Good few are not understanding that Hagi wants out, unless he says something different nothing changes.
11 Aug 2024 16:10:19
My star in the sky. we were trying to sign players who couldn't gef a game even get involved in the first team sqaud from man u and Chelsea. going by your comment if a player can't get playing in their team their a dud. is cantwell a dud. just saying.
11 Aug 2024 16:24:36
Soccerfan, can you explain why his agent says he will be moving on?
11 Aug 2024 16:25:59
Davie, where are you getting that from on my post on the situation?
11 Aug 2024 16:27:35
Read again dd, because I not got a clue what your post means.
11 Aug 2024 16:48:23
Hagi wasn’t the answer before his injury and isn’t now, he has no pace and Scottish football doesn’t suit him. He also struggled at Alaves last year was a sub in so many games, same applies about Lawrence. So if we are going to persevere with a 10 we need to find one.
11 Aug 2024 16:58:16
RFC stats are stats, I prefer eyes and I watched Hagi before and after injury and he is not the answer, would love for us to sign a good creative 10 but we have to go with the best option and that’s Lawrence, Hagi was looking for a move last year and still looking for a move and that’s about it.
11 Aug 2024 17:02:13
Hagi, "Phil it's not working out for me, I want to leave, thanks"
Phil, " No problem Ianis, I understand, would you reconsider? "
Agent, "After much discussion with Ianis were in agreement, it's time to move on"
Hagi, "No, sorry but my minds made up, thanks"
Not really hard is it.
11 Aug 2024 17:02:55
Not what we were told last season Soccerfan, he was told he wasn’t going to be a first pick so he wanted to leave, he didn’t agree just to be a squad player it was well documented at the time.
11 Aug 2024 17:08:39
Your name said it all Mushroom, think you have been on them whilst watching Hagi, past managers and large section of the support are clueless then!
11 Aug 2024 17:50:49
No idea what Paul Clement thinks but Phil Clement clearly doesn't rate Hagi.
11 Aug 2024 17:55:21
Rosevale the Romanian manager picked him for the euros he played as a squad player in a top league. Our team. Our midfield is dugmeat! He’s a good player and I reckon he’s still got plenty to offer. First full season for us 7 goals and 11 assists. Then injury and in and out the team he’s not kicked on but there is a player in there. Who would u replace him with a 21 year old project aye? Youve not got a clue!
11 Aug 2024 18:31:23
Hagi has never proved he's the best for the 10 or any other position, it's as simple as that.
11 Aug 2024 18:54:47
Stevie we played with two 10s under Gerrard and Hagi was no use in the 10.
11 Aug 2024 19:26:14
SteveG, the bottom line is that ever since Beale dumped him Hagi doesn`t want to play for us as witnessed by some of his statements last season . He would not have even come back if his agent had found him another club. He didn`t have a good Euros, he didn`t even start the first two games and was rotten and got subbed in the round of 16 match when Romania got knocked out.
Scoring a hat trick for the B team against an U21 side doesn`t make him a first team player . Lawrence is too slow but I don`t remember Hagi being that quick either even before his injury . Wouldn`t have a problem with him getting a chance but have to back the manager Phil Clement on this one, he knows best.
11 Aug 2024 19:50:25
There’s a player in there aye! Is that why he’s not got a club yet? Look you can throw you don’t have a clue garbage about but fact remains past and current manager didn’t see him as a first team pic, Alaves never offered him a contract after watching him for a year, and u forgot to mention that he wants away!
11 Aug 2024 19:51:27
It’s a split opinion one by looks of it, when he played false 10 it’s a slight right wing isn’t it? Not a proper 10
He done it too bad we won the league and had a good euro run that year. He couldn’t be that bad.
My point is he’s better than Lawrence and dowell
If we can attract better then I’m all for it if not we’re paying his wages we may as well use him.
11 Aug 2024 20:25:16
Rosevale I can believe the Alaves manager doesn’t fancy as he’s not good enough for the top 5 leagues but for us he’s definitely good enough! Our midfield is all over the place and it’s my opinion he would improve it. Well Steven Gerrard fancied him and he was good during 55, I wouldn’t read into Beale not liking him as a player ? you don’t play that amount of games in la liga and in the euros if your not a player. I could understand your point if we had pushed on since 55 and we had better players then aye your right but we’ve shockingly regressed since then and he’s definitely better than any midfielder we have. Bet you were one of the ones that said Lewis Ferguson wasn’t good enough either ?.
11 Aug 2024 20:41:56
He didn’t play all season for Alaves, he was left out of the team a fair bit, your obviously a bit annoyed that some disagree with you and that includes our manager, is he clueless? I said in an earlier post that u chose to not read that I would like an upgrade on Lawrence but at the moment he’s the managers choice.
Ur obviously not the brightest when your mentioning players that have never played for us so we will leave it there.
11 Aug 2024 20:42:40
No we played with two 10s. Not false 10s whatever that is. Tav and Barasic were the width. Hagi wasn't any good and he's not better than Lawerence. You need to remember that when we won the league, that was a very very poor Celtic team. If it had been Rodgers or Ange instead of Lennon incharge then we may not have won the league.
I think Celtic being so poor gave us a false perception of how good some of our players actually were, because we haven't been able to lay a glove on them since. May be an unpopular opinion but since they got rid of Lennon and got decent managers we have not won the league or beat them when it matters in over 3 years.
11 Aug 2024 20:50:06
Fork it isn’t really hard but some fans on here make it hard on here ?.
11 Aug 2024 21:40:28
You don't need to look too far storm.
11 Aug 2024 22:31:59
Rosevale I didn’t say Lewis Ferguson played for us but when he was being touted for a move I bet you were against that also. I’m not annoyed anyone disagrees with me, everyone is entitled to their opinions. Look back what you said about me on mushrooms because I disagreed with you! Looks like your not very smart lad.
11 Aug 2024 22:38:32
Correct bud, nuts at times?.

I know lexi only need to look as far as you.
