Rangers sign Romania legend Gheorghe’s son Ianis
Rangers have bolstered their attacking options before the transfer window closes with the signing of Ianis Hagi.
The 21-year-old is the son of Romania legend Gheorghe – and Rangers supporters will hope he can make a similar impact on the pitch to that of his father during his playing days.
Hagi – who will wear the No 7 shirt – has joined on loan from Belgian side Genk until the end of the season, with Rangers having an option to make that a permanent one in the summer.
Speaking to RangersTV, the Romania international said: ‘It is a great honour to play at such a huge club with a lot of history and I am looking forward to meeting everyone in the club and I can’t wait for the first training session.
‘Being in such a huge club and having this mentality of winning every game made me take this decision and I am really happy.’
