Rangers playmaker Ianis Hagi has taken to Instagram to admit he’s “taking stock” of an awful run of form at Alavés in La Liga.
Deportivo Alavés are now one place and two points above the relegation zone in La Liga with only two wins in their opening nine matches in the Spanish top flight.
Taking to Instagram, Ianis Hagi has taken a level of responsibility for the situation as he admits he’s “taking stock” of an awful few weeks with Alavés who’re being pulled into a relegation battle.
Ianis Hagi was writing to Alavés supporters in Spanish on Instagram and here is the message translated into English:
“Taking stock of the last three games before the break, we have been playing well and the team’s feeling is positive.
“We will keep working hard and sighting in every match.
“We are on the right track and the results will be better. Let’s go.”
The three Alavés matches Ianis Hagi is talking about are a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo (A), 2-0 defeat to Osasuna (H) and a 1-1 draw with Real Betis (H).
Ianis Hagi “taking stock” at Alavés as Rangers rue exit
As Rangers loanee Ianis Hagi looks to amend a terrible run of form in Spain, the Ibrox support continue to have one eye on the Romanian playmaker’s situation.
Whilst there is no option-to-buy in the player’s Alavés loan move, and as far as we’re concerned no confirmation that Rangers can recall him, the situation around the 24-year-old is a real head-scratcher.
With Rangers in the middle of an injury crisis, and Ianis Hagi returning from around a year out with a devastating cruciate ligament injury, Michael Beale might look at the player’s exit as the loss of a major attacking option.
After publicly appealing for more minutes, the spotlight has been shone on Michael Beale’s management of the Ianis Hagi situation with Alavés appearing to benefit from this move more than anyone.
Rangers have lost a serious wedge of their attacking influence and sending Ianis Hagi on loan to Alavés with little guarantee of payment is looking a stranger move by the week.
Perhaps the next name in through the door at Rangers can convince Ianis Hagi he has a future at the club with the Ibrox side certainly missing the Romanian’s creativity and directness at present.
