IANIS Hagi has reaffirmed his long-term commitment to Rangers despite interest from Serie A giants Lazio.
The Romanian has made an impressive impact since moving to Ibrox on loan from Genk in January and scored key goals against Hibernian and Braga in the opening weeks of his Gers career.
Rangers are in the driving seat to sign Hagi on a permanent basis this summer after Sporting Director Ross Wilson negotiated terms that gives Steven Gerrard first option on the playmaker at the end of the campaign.
It is understood that Hagi has dismissed rumours he would prefer to move to Rome - as was suggested in Italian media this week - as looks to commit his future to the Light Blues.
Gerrard has repeatedly spoken of his admiration for Hagi in recent weeks and the forward - the son of former Real Madrid and Barcelona hero Gheorghe - is keen to continue that relationship with his Gers gaffer beyond the end of his loan deal.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
