Kevin Thomson says Rangers have a "game-changer" in Ianis Hagi, but the former midfielder feels the Romania forward is in a "strange situation". The 25-year-old said this week he is "willing to help, work and fight" for the Ibrox side, despite being told he is not part of manager Philippe Clement's plans. Hagi, who spent last season on loan with Alaves in Spain, has been training with the club's B team. If the Romanian remains in Govan, Thomson says Clement will be retaining a "talented player" with "bravery" who can provide "big moments". However, Thomson believes the situation must be resolved on way or another as soon as possible with the transfer window closing on Friday. "I used to speak to Steven Gerrard and Michael Beale about him," he revealed on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast. "They used to always talk about his courage, being able to take the ball in tight areas and risking it, obviously giving it away at times, which can be a disgruntlement to the fans. They might get frustrated with them, but they're match-winners and game-changers - and I think Ianis is that. I've only bumped into him a few times personally when I've obviously worked in there, a really humble, good lad. But I find that a strange situation now... it's also is a difficult position for the fans, they want to see the best players on the pitch. I think Rangers need all the good players they've possibly got. Ianis, Todd Cantwell, these players' futures need to either be sorted or everybody needs to be transparent with what's going on, because they are picking up big wages." Hagi has rejected a move to Rapid Bucharest, but insists that he is willing to stay and fight for his place at Rangers. The attacking midfielder has been training with the B team and has been told he is not part of manager Philippe Clement's plans. Hagi is reportedly seeking a move to a top European league, and it remains to be seen if he will get his wish. The Romanian - who has been playing with the B team - insists there's always a way to navigate around any situation Hagi, who is under contract until 2026, has been widely expected to depart Rangers ahead of Friday's transfer deadline as the club look to free up wages for new recruits. He was offered a chance to return to his homeland this week but rejected a move to Rapid Bucharest. There were also reports of interest from Fiorentina earlier in the window but no move materialised. Hagi has now addressed the issue by taking to social media and insisting that he is willing to "navigate" a solution that would allow him to rekindle his Rangers career. In a statement posted on Instagram, Hagi said: "I've been aware of the noise and speculation regarding my situation, my role and my contract in the club. I have loved playing for Rangers and the Ibrox fans since the moment I got here. I want to make it clear, I have never once asked to leave this football club. I will always make myself available, and there's always a way to navigate around any situation if there's a will on both sides and that was communicated officially weeks ago by me and my team. I'm here, willing, and Rangers Ready to help, work and fight for the club, team and manager." Hagi's decision to reject a move to Rapid Bucharest suggests that he is still determined to prove himself at Rangers, but he is also aware that his future at the club is uncertain. The transfer window closes on Friday, so it remains to be seen what the next few days hold for the talented midfielder. Hagi's situation is a tricky one for Rangers. The club need to get his wages off the books, but they also don't want to lose a player of his quality.
