Clement confirms Hagi"s exit from Rangers for good

Philippe Clement, the manager of Rangers, has confirmed that Ianis Hagi will not return to the first team after being sidelined. Hagi, who has been training with the B-team, expressed his willingness to fight for his place despite failing to secure a transfer before the deadline. Clement had previously informed Hagi that he would not be part of the team's plans for the foreseeable future, especially after the signing of Nedim Bajrami from Sassuolo for £3.5 million. Clement emphasized the importance of Hagi seeking other opportunities, as the arrival of Bajrami further solidified the decision to move on from the Romanian player. The manager also welcomed the addition of Feyenoord defender Neraysho Kasanwirjo, who has joined on a 12-month loan, although he may not be available for the upcoming match against Celtic due to paperwork issues. Clement acknowledged the challenges faced during the transfer window, noting that the club needed to rebuild and create future value. He highlighted the departure of several players at the end of their contracts, which had previously left the club in a difficult position. The manager is focused on developing young talent while maintaining an experienced core to guide them. Overall, Clement believes that the recent changes and the integration of new players will help the club move forward positively, despite the setbacks experienced in the transfer market. He remains optimistic about the potential of young players like Connor Barron and Jefte, who have shown promising performances recently.
