Rangers repeat their mistake in Hagi with the star of the “incredible” star

Often, problems outside the field can affect what is happening on the field in football. Glasgow Rangers are not strangers to this is the case in IBROX, with players, supporters, managers, and follow -up.

For example, Russell Martin noticed after a 2-0 defeat on Hares that the players are struggling to deal with the current situation and expectations in IBrox.

Geers Coach told BBC Scotland: “There is a lot of anxiety, and a lot of difficulty in managing expectations. We have a lot of players trying to feel their way to their career in Rangers in a very difficult situation.”

It is the Catch-22 position, because it is due to the team to make good offers enough on the field to gain full support for the fans and the media.

However, there can also be problems caused by contractual issues or behind the scenes that can also affect what is happening on the field for GERS, as was the case with Ianis Hagi last season.

Why did Rangers make a mistake with Ianis Hagi

After spending the 2023/24 campaign on loan in Alaves, Romania International returned to IBROX in the summer of 2023 only to be exiled from the first team and sent to play with the B.

He had to train and play with Jeraz Youth players, instead of his peers, and this means that he did not participate in the European qualifiers or the opening league games.

Philip Clement revealed it was To reach a contractual case This has not been resolved behind the scenes until October, which means that the attacking midfielder has missed the pre -season and the first two months of the campaign.

As you can see in the table above, Geers Playmaker was a major player in the 2020/21 season -winning season under Stephen Gerrard, which made him a player installed in the upper flight.

Hagi, then, was not surprising, scored four goals, created six “great opportunities”, and helped five goals at 16 beginning in the Scottish Premier League, for all Sofascore, after returning to the fold of the first team, which indicates that they missed a first -class player for several months because of a non -football problem.

Romania International was leading to the introductions who have been in the goals and assisted at an impressive rate and were sitting on the margin because of a contractual issue behind the scenes.

While it is not an identical situation, Rangers now repeat the big mistake they made with Hagi by leaving Nicholas Raskin outside the team.

Why does Rangers need to play Nicholas Raskin

Belgium international did not participate in the team to face hearts or Celtic in the last two league games, because Martin claims that he must do so Earn “trust” From his teammates.

Raskin returned to training with the first team after the international break, but he had to look at him from the side lines as Blues Light 2-0 lost to Hearts, who left the club with the worst start for the league season 47 years.

Talking about the situation, a former Rangers striker and director McCoyist ally said: “Now, it is clear that there is a problem with Raskin, there is no doubt about it, something happened. But in terms of sitting, you cannot bite your nose to behave your face.

“If you encounter a problem with Raskin, and it is clear that he has, I think the audience should tell what this problem is, because we all sit there to watch that game on the weekend, and Raskin enters this team.”

MCCOist mainly says that Rangers harm themselves by not choosing Raskin in modern games. It is difficult to differ with this evaluation when you think about the performance of the central midfielder in the 2024/25 campaign.

The former Leg Star star won the season’s player and players’ prizes in the season, which talks about how classified by both supporters and teammates.

As you can see in the table above, Raskin was an incredible combat figure in the middle of the light blouse park in both the Premier League and the European League, making many treatments, objections and recovery in the match.

Moreover, the Belgian star has the quality of the ball to be a difference maker for the Scottish giants, who failed to score in the two matches that were excluded from it.

Raskin, Once it praises as “incredible” By former striker Chris Boyd, he has achieved five goals and 11 assists in all competitions in the recent period, for all Sofascore, and one of these goals came against Celtic, who failed to score without it before the international break.

This indicates that light blues repeat their big mistake with Hagi at the present time, because they allow a problem other than football to influence its results on the field.

Raskin, as evidenced by his performance data and awards, is an influential member and an integration of the best XI of the club. If it is appropriate and available to choose, it should be lined up in the middle of the garden.

As McCoist said, it seems that the goalkeeper bites their nose despite their face by getting him out of the teams, which was also the case when Hagi was abandoned from the team at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign.

Therefore, Martin should return Raskin to the team as soon as possible in the hope that the characteristics of the Belgian star can manage the global shape, raise the mood and take some pressure on new signatures and young players.
