Rangers’ Ianis Hagi makes impact with goal in Romania’s dominant international win

Ianis Hagi produced a stellar performance for Romania in their dominant 5-1 victory over San Marino in World Cup qualifying, scoring a penalty and contributing to his side’s commanding display in Serravalle.

The 26-year-old playmaker found the back of the net in the second half, calmly finishing from 12-yards after Romania were awarded a spot kick following a foul on Dennis Man. 

Hagi’s performance did not go unnoticed, with FotMob rating his display an impressive 8.3/10. The attacking midfielder was a constant threat, showcasing his vision and creativity as he helped orchestrate Romania’s forward play throughout the match.

His goal, coupled with his overall contribution, highlights the quality that has made him an influential player for both club and country.

However, Hagi’s future at Rangers is shrouded in uncertainty, as his contract with the Scottish Premiership giants is set to expire this summer.

With the Ibrox club currently in the midst of a transitional phase until their new owners arrive, the Romanian’s next move remains a hot topic of speculation.

Meanwhile, after struggling during a starting opportunity against England on Friday, Hagi's Rangers teammate Nedim Bajrami dropped to the bench for Albania's clash with Andorra. His team were comfortable 3-0 winners, but the 26-year-old remained an unused substitute.
