Ianis Hagi reckons he will be able to play a full match in three weeks...which would be in time for the League Cup Final against Celtic.
And the Romanian star has predicted he will be able to play until he's 39 years old.
Hagi has recovered from his serious knee injury picked up last year to make his comeback for Rangers. He played 18 minutes against St Johnstone as a sub, although he wasn't on the bench against Hearts and was an unused sub at the weekend.
But the 24-year-old believes he will soon be able to play a full 90 minutes if required, with the Hampden showpiece final coming up later this month.
He said: "For me to play 90 minutes? I would say in three or four weeks.
"But of course, it doesn't just depend on me, I have to be called to do it.
"I have to show I can play well. I feel fine physically and mentally as well. Now I'm trying to play as many minutes as possible and get ready as quickly as I can.
"I don't feel old, but I feel experienced compared to Alex Pitu for example, who has just signed for Bordeaux.
"I have my whole career ahead of me, I hope to play another 15 years at least."
And Hagi, in an interview on Romanian TV, is desperate to help his country reach Euro 2024 and he's set to make his international comeback next month when Romania start their qualifying campaign with a double-header against Andorra and Belarus.
He said: "It's always going to be hard, but we could have had a France or a Germany in our group. Instead, we have Switzerland.
"If we want to qualify for Euro 2024. we have to suffer, believe in ourselves and have courage. But I know we have enough talent in the squad to make it."
