Michael Beale sends brilliant message to Rangers forward Ianis Hagi
Rangers forward Ianis Hagi has shared a video on Twitter where he is seen doing light training work.
The 23-year-old was ruled out for the season by Giovanni van Bronckhorst after he picked up a serious knee injury.
His father, Gheorghe has been delivering updates on his fitness levels, and now Michael Beale has sent a heart-warming message to Hagi.
Beale wrote on Twitter: “Can’t wait to see you back playing Ianis Hagi.”
Road to recovery
It’s brilliant to see Hagi back in light training and doing a bit of juggling with the ball.
He ruptured his cruciate ligament in Gers’ Scottish Cup win against Stirling back in January, and the club ruled him out for at least nine months.
It means, he will not only miss this current campaign but he is expected to miss out on some action next season as well.
Gheorghe has claimed that his son has promised him that he will be fit to play in May if the Gers secure a place in the finals of the Europa League.
In his absence, Rangers have enjoyed a fairy-tale journey in the Europa League, but they are likely to be dethroned in the Scottish Premier League by Celtic.
Rangers will face Braga in the quarter-final on Thursday. Even if Hagi gets fit by May, which is unlikely, Van Bronckhorst shouldn’t rush him into the set-up.
He needs more time to return to full fitness, but it seems the recovery is going well.
