I WILL NOT PLAY AGAIN:Ianis Hagi has decided not to play again for Rangers and insisted leaving….
Romanian ace Hagi has returned to Philippe Clement’s first-team in the past few weeks after a contract wrangle was ironed out.
And he was on the mark for the Gers back-up squad in the Glasgow Cup win over Partick Thistle just two days after a watching the top side win the Premier Sports Cup semi against Motherwell.
From Hampden’s sidelines he switched to the Gers training centre just outside Milngavie – but he was outshone there too.
Instead it was youngster Findlay Curtis who added to his incredible goal tally with a HAT-TRICK against the Jags.
His ten-minute treble added to an incredible goal haul for the 18-year-old – who ISN’T even a STRIKER.
He’s scored 54 times since coming to the attention of the youth ranks two years ago.
And even when he’s mixing it in multi-million pound company with Danilo, Hagi and ex-AC Milan kid Clinton Nsiala he’s coming out on top.
Now he hope Clement is paying attention as well as eyeing Hagi and Danilo’s progress.
He told his club website: “I’m delighted. A hat-trick is what I want, and I want to keep on scoring goals.
“It was a sloppy start from us, but we were ruthless in the final third and I’m buzzing off the hat-trick.
“I want to keep on scoring goals and getting my numbers up this year. I burst into the penalty box to get that third and fortunately it went in.
“I’ve scored 12 goals and got two assists in my last 15 or so games. It’s good and it’s just about getting my numbers up.
“The manager at first-team level always talks about his wingers getting in-behind, getting to the back post, and scoring goals.
“That’s what I’m trying to do and hopefully he recognises that.”
He’s not alone.
With the mood around the Gers first-team not exactly bouncing, fans have called for Curtis to be given a go to show what he can do at the top level.
