I will not play again: Ranger key player has decided to quit due to…

Ianis Hagi wasn’t involved in Rangers’ 4-0 win over FCSB on Thursday because Philippe Clement left him out of the Europa League squad.

The Romania international has been limited to one appearance for the Scottish club this season. That was in Rangers’ 2-0 win over St. Johnstone earlier this month, and he assisted Vaclav Cerny’s goal.

Philippe Clement hasn’t included the 26-year-old in the squad this season. Dumitru Dumitriu, who managed FCSB, AEK Athens, Romania [assistant] and other clubs, has discussed Hagi’s situation with Golazo.ro.

The winger’s contract at Ibrox lasts until 2026, but Dumitriu has urged his compatriot to leave Rangers to save to his career.

“I think in the end he’ll get what he deserves. He is a good player, a footballer who can play for several teams in Europe, so he should not stay there. My belief is that he should go, but not on loan. He should leave permanently, be bought and used,” he said.

Responding to that, Dumitriu explained: “When a club buys you, it shows they trust you. And Ianis needs that. He’s a talented player, passes well with both feet, shoots hard. He has many qualities, he’s a top footballer. But he had this bad luck with the injury. Now let’s not think that they should quit. No way.”

Hagi’s father, Gheorghe, isn’t pleased with the situation at Rangers. He’s been vocal about it and Dumitriu understands why.
