Rangers fans blown away by ‘outstanding’ Ianis Hagi performance

Rangers produced a stunning comeback to go into their second leg with Braga with a one-goal advantage. The Gers trailed 2-0 at Ibrox but roared back to win 3-2 and send the crowd into pure delirium.

Fransergio opened the scoring for the in-form Portuguese outfit before Abel Ruiz doubled their advantage. A brace from Ianis Hagi and a goal from Joe Aribo ensured the Gers stayed unbeaten at home in Europe under Steven Gerrard.

It was a memorable night for the Light Blues who looked dead and buried with just 23 minutes remaining. From the moment Hagi pulled one back, however, it looked as though Braga started to feel the heat.

A clean sheet in Portugal next week will now see Rangers through to the last 16. The Gers will be forced to do it without Alfredo Morelos, however, who missed the second leg after picking up a yellow card.

Hagi’s performance really caught the eye and his January arrival looks like a really good piece of business. The 21-year-old is on loan from Genk where he signed for £4 million from Viitorul Constanta last summer (BBC).

Following his performance last night, Rangers fans took to Twitter to rave about their new kid on the block. Here is a selection of tweets from supporters regarding the display from Hagi:
