Masterclass against St Johnstone and instinctive strikers goal to secure points against Hibs. Young Hagi coming strong at critical part of the season.
28 Dec 2020 17:58:11
One thing that I have noticed with Hagi is he is deffinately starting to bulk up a bit up top. Getting much stronger looking at his biceps and chest. He's still a rubbishbag when going for a 50/ 50 tackle which I don't like but here's hoping he can continue his progress and have a good finish to the season.

3cheers he is doing loads of work in gym with aribo, Bassey Morelos,
28 Dec 2020 18:18:54
Av been very critical of hagi lately but last 2 games think he’s been great definitely looking stronger hopefully he can keep it up.

I'd be interested to understand where you get access to each player's fitness regime and gym time, John25. Do you work at the training centre?
28 Dec 2020 19:04:55
Tavs is there any need for that?
28 Dec 2020 19:13:05
Tav, John25 is almost a “trusted source†on here and has well established record of providing informed opinion.
28 Dec 2020 19:27:56
Cheese oh tav on loyal do u ever listen to manager and players.
Manager says how hard hagi has been working in gym to build his upper body which he is required to do for Scottish game.
Also aribo talking about how hard he works in gym with Bassey and Alf and it’s a contest between him and Bassey.

Cheers bankie that is kind words.
28 Dec 2020 19:34:15
Defo been a change for the better in Hagi. He looks fitter, sharper and stronger. Couldn't come at a better time tbh.
28 Dec 2020 20:24:14
Although john did call it wrong the other day about helander not getting dropped after benfica away. So i will sat 98% of the time its good info ðŸ˜.
28 Dec 2020 20:31:34
John25, I do indeed listen to the manager but I didn't hear that particular one. I am sorry if such an innocent question (I really was interested in someone with your sort of insight) but seeing as it offended both yourself and your sidekicks, maybe I'll just refrain from commenting on your collective pearls of wisdom and expert knowledge on all things Rangers.

Paul I get it wrong a lot, and don’t throw my toys put off the Priam when corrected, always happy to be corrected.
28 Dec 2020 21:16:58
Not offended mate, but it’s been well talked about in interviews re gym work of certain players.
Hagi was according to SG given a very extensive weights programme by our sport scientists when we signed him in the summer.
It was about toughing him up for the Scottish game as rangers felt he was too easily knocked off the ball when on loan.
Similar re joe aribo.

I'm sorry guys I just don't get the hype over hagi, too slow for the Scottish game, on Saturday he scored a very important goal for us but that aside I thought he offered very little as is the case in the majority of games he plays, he disappears for chunks of games, too weak as well and I worry if he plays on Saturday-the assists stat is misleading, I'd love the boy to succeed but I don't think he's suited to Scottish football or good enough.
28 Dec 2020 21:32:56
Jack boy can you explain how the assist stats are misleading.
29 Dec 2020 23:06:10
OK I will, if player a dribbles past 6 men and lays it on a plate for a striker but he fluffs the chances then player a has no assists, player b could lay a ball off 5 yards to another player who rockets it in from 25 yards and player b would have an assist so it can be misleading, very few of hagis assists are anything of note such as a mazy dribble or a defence splitting pass (going by your way of thinking glen kamara has an assist for kemar roofes goal in liege) I'm saying the boys surname and skewed statistics are blinding the fans to a player who is too light, slow and not good enough for us, and before I get any abuse I wish the boy was good enough, all I care about is the team winning, not being a sycophant over every individual player.
