Ianis Hagi shares Rangers training ground update after absence
Rangers midfielder Ianis Hagi has taken to social media to share a training ground update after his absence for their 2-1 Europa League win over Union St.Gilloise.
The 26-year-old wasn’t included in Philippe Clement’s European squad so was unanavailable as Rangers secured a place in the Europa League round of 16 with an eight-placed finish in the new-look league phase.
Nicolas Raskin opened the scoring for the home side against the Belgian club, latching on to James Tavernier’s pin-point cross from a well-worked corner.
Vaclav Cerny doubled their lead at Ibrox just after halftime with a close-range effort thanks to a fantastic run and ball from Cyriel Dessers.
Kevin Mac Allister, brother of Liverpool midfielder Alexis, got one back for the visitors in the 89th minute, but it was too little too late, and the Scottish Premier League side held on for the win.
Several Rangers stars took to social media to commemorate the win and subsequent qualification, including Jack Butland and Tavernier.

The Romania international had a starring role in their 3-1 Scottish Premier League win over Dundee United in the game before the one against Union St.Gilloise, providing the assist for Robin Propper’s goal.
