Rangers: Derek Ferguson reacts to Ianis Hagi Ibrox exit claims from ‘vocal’ father Gheorghe
Derek Ferguson suggests that Gheorghe Hagi should allow his son, Ianis, to independently decide his future with Rangers, especially after Gheorghe’s recent remarks hinting at a potential departure from Ibrox. Drawing from his own experience as the father of Bologna captain Lewis, Ferguson acknowledges the importance of withholding personal sentiments at times.
Ianis Hagi, currently on loan at Alaves in Spain, has expressed his desire to secure a permanent move to La Liga, citing compatibility with his style of play. This revelation came shortly after his father dismissed rumors of Ianis wanting to leave Glasgow as untrue.
Ferguson doubts whether Ianis, at 25, aligns with Philippe Clement’s preferences as a player, emphasizing that the decision ultimately lies with Ianis himself rather than Gheorghe.
Ferguson underscores the significance of letting Ianis take the lead in his career decisions, despite Gheorghe’s vocal support. He suggests a more passive approach, allowing Ianis, a mature individual, to navigate his path.
Considering the significant changes at Rangers under Clement’s management since Ianis’s departure for loan, it’s probable that if Ianis wishes to leave, he will do so. Despite Ianis’s limited appearances at Ibrox due to injury, his departure could be imminent, especially if his heart is set on a move to Spain, potentially marking one of many exits from Glasgow this summer.
