The Ibrox giants came from behind to secure the win and January signing Hagi scored the winner for his new team.

He said: “Hagi’s match-winning performance will deserve all the headlines but I thought his general play was outstanding in the second half. I think he was coming to terms with the league and what it’s about in the first half but what a performance on your full home debut and the finish is outstanding.”

Meanwhile, Hagi will be delighted with the words of praise from his manager and he will be looking to build on this and improve in the coming weeks.
