Bid rejected: Big £6m Rangers transfer claim emerges that'll delight van Bronckhorst - opinion

A big Rangers claim has emerged on Ibrox gem Ianis Hagi and Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s plans for the player heading into the summer transfer window.

Hagi can slot back into the XI and take up the position on the right of the attack. He has showcased his qualities in the Scottish top-flight in the past as he played a major role in the club’s title success under Steven Gerrard in the 2020/21 campaign.
