Rangers star Ianis Hagi would be ideally suited to Spanish football, according to his famous former Real Madrid and Barcelona star father Gheorghe.

The Romanian playmaker has returned to the Ibrox first team and scored his first goal for 16 months against Hibs last month after being out for over a year with a serious knee injury.

Hagi signed a new deal last year at Ibrox that will keep him at the club until 2025.

But his legendary father, in an interview with Spanish publication Marca, revealed he would love to see his son play in La Liga in the future.

Hagi senior said: "He's had a difficult year, but I've seen him doing well again in the last few months.

"He's started to play again, he's started some games at Rangers now and he's feeling good. Hopefully, he can continue as he was before.

"I played in Spain for many years and hopefully, one day, Ianis can go too.

"He is happy at Rangers, but football in Spain would be good for him".
