Rangers fans could be in for an exciting match tonight against Braga in Portugal. During the first leg of this tie, the Gers completed an incredible comeback after going down by two goals.
But tonight’s second leg match won’t be the first bit of excitement that Gers fans have faced today. Earlier the club posted a tweet announcing a three and a half year partnership with Clarity Sport.
Now, the news itself wasn’t what excited fans. Instead, they absolutely lost their minds at the photo attached.
To announce the news, the Gers had loanee signing Ianis Hagi hold a Rangers shirt with ‘2023’ printed on the back.
The fans saw this a huge tease, admitting that they thought the club were announcing Hagi’s permanent signing until 2023 at first glance.

Almost had a heart attack. I thought we had just permanently signed a player who is unable to complete a successful pass.

Wow! Absolute Trolling of the highest order genuinely thought Hagi was a done deal

You can’t stick a picture of Hagi with a shirt saying 2023 and it not be his permanent transfer.
Shame on you.

Now without us reading the text that is just pure teasing. Saw the pic first and thought he’d signed a deal until then

Do you want Hagi to sign permanently in the summer
Yes - Hagi is a class player
No - we've got Clarity Sports
What do we think?
There is no questioning why Gers fans are eager for the Romanian to sign a permanent deal. He was instrumental in last week’s comeback, scoring a second-half brace against Braga in the first leg.
Fans will likely have to wait until the end of the season when Hagi’s loan deal is set to expire before any confirmation of his permanent signing is announced.
