The Scots responded after Ianis Hagi was replaced by Clement after just 45 minutes in Dundee

The press in Scotland offered a first reaction, after Ianis Hagi was replaced by Philippe Clement at half-time of the game Dundee – Rangers.

Journalists of the publication Daily Record wrote about Ianis Hagi’s poor performance during the first half of the game between Dundee United and Glasgow Rangers. Philippe Clement was unhappy with Ianis Hagi’s contribution, and the Romanian footballer was replaced in the 46th minute of the match, but the Scots discovered why the midfielder’s performance was poor.

The previously mentioned source notes that Ianis Hagi would have complained of back problems, an aspect that could have damaged his performance on the field. Thus Philippe Clement made the decision to replace Hagi after only 45 minutes of play with Welshman Rabbi Matondo.

The Romanian had a modest first half and Clement is looking to add more pace to his attack and widen the game. However, it seems that Hagi has back problems”, British journalists described Ianis Hagi’s performance in the first half.

However, the change did not add to the visitors, who failed to come away with a success from the trip to Dundee, which ended in a 1-1 draw. That leaves Rangers 15 lengths clear of leaders Celtic as they failed to capitalize on the 11th leg delay.

In fact, Ianis Hagi is at the center of the topic regarding a possible transfer from Rangers. Although he became a starter in the group at Ibrox, Hagi is still being courted of teams from important championships in Europe, including Genoa, who would be ready to pay no less than 1,200,000 euros to bring the footballer under the command of Patrick Vieria. However, it seems unlikely that Rangers will approve such a move, especially as other players are on Philippe Clement’s departure list.

“Yilmaz was transferred to Rangers for 3.4 million pounds from the Istanbul side. The defender has been used on the right side of defense recently and it remains to be seen whether Nils Koppen and Clement will be willing to offload him at this stage.

On the other hand, Ianis Hagi seems unlikely to leave. The Romanian international revitalized his career at Rangers after being left out at the start of the season.

The Serie A team – owned by Romanian Dan Șucu – is considering a modest offer of 1.2 million pounds to test Rangers’ willingness to sell him,” wrote the Daily Record.
