Ianis Hagi was today involved with Rangers B with his future at Ibrox all but certainly over.

The Romania international started for the club's B team as they took on Middlesborough at the Rangers Training Centre.

He was taken off at half time in the match with the score at 3-3. Findlay Curtis netted twice, while Josh Gentles added his side's third.

Hagi, 25, has been linked with a move away from Rangers for some time having spent the last few years either injured or out on loan. He spent the second half of last term at Alaves in Spain.

Both Fiorentina and Fenerbahce are two teams who have been consistently linked with the playmaker.

Philippe Clement has kept him in his first team for training this pre-season. 

But with Hagi turning out for the B team this afternoon, that looks to have changed.

Fellow first teamers Clinton Nsiala and Alex Lowry were both involved too, but are regarded as players for the future. The latter scored a penalty late in the game to secure a 4-3 win for the B team of the Scottish Premiership side.

Hagi's involvement in the bounce game seems to signal that the player will have no further part to play in the first team at Ibrox.

He's contracted until the summer of 2026. It's believed the club are looking to sell him for a decent fee.

Meanwhile, Rangers were accused of being 'completely un-British' when they last played against Dynamo Kyiv in Europe after a Graeme Souness masterstroke.

The Ibrox side face the Ukrainian giants in the Champions League tonight with the first leg in Poland before a return next week at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

It's their first meeting since a famous European Cup first round tie in September 1987 where Rangers trailed 1-0 from the first leg in what was then the Soviet Union against a side who had reached the semi-finals the previous year before losing to eventual winners Porto.
