Ianis Hagi interview loved by Rangers fans as mentality lauded for 'I don't want to talk about last season' response

Rangers fans marvelled at Ianis Hagi's finish for his side's equaliser against Brondby in Denmark.

But they were absolutely loving his post match interview after rescuing a point against the Danish champions in the Europa League.

It could prove to be a huge point as the Light Blues were heading for defeat and looked like ending up bottom of Group A.

And that was after conceding the first goal for the tenth time this season following Leon Balogun's own goal and Hagi, on as a substitute, was unhappy at that.

But he wasn't interested in comparing this season to the last campaign as so often been the case when talking about Steven Gerrard's men's slow start to the season.

Speaking to BT Sport after the game, Hagi said: “To be fair I don’t want to talk about last season.

"This season is a new season. Every time we step out on the pitch we need to have the mentality of winning and don’t wait for the opposition to score before going out there and winning.

“From now in I just hope we score first. To be fair the team always reacts well so we have to give some credit but we know we are Rangers and have to do better.

“We came here to win and we didn’t win. I know it’s away from home in the Europa League a tough competition but we wanted to win. "

Supporters were lapping up that mentality as they commented on social media.

One said: "Love his honest and clear desire to be a winner - that's exactly what we need."

Another added: "Boy gets it man! Love him!"

@Ted246_ tweeted: "Refreshingly honest. Need more of this in football."

One said: "Superb attitude from Ianis Hagi not wanting to talk about last season."
