Ianis Hagi has spoken for the first time since his Rangers departure was announced.
It was confirmed on Tuesday that the Romanian's contract at Ibrox would not be extended, and that he would leave the club this summer.
Hagi made 130 appearances in light blue. He won the Scottish Premiership title with Rangers in the 2020/21 season, and also helped his team in Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup triumphs.

Hagi took to Instagram after his exit was confirmed: "My time at Rangers has come to an end, and I want to thank everyone who made it 10 years unforgettable," he said.
"To the staff, players, and everyone behind the scenes - thank you for your support and professionalism. To the fans — your passion and loyalty are unmatched. It was an honour to represent this club and play in front of you. Wishing Rangers all the best for the future.
"With gratitude, Ianis Hagi."
Hagi departs Rangers this summer alongside fellow out-of-contract stars Tom Lawrence and Leon Balogun.
The latter also recently took to social media following his departure: "It's that time again," said Balogun.
"No caption could summarise all that is going through my mind as I'm writing these lines.It's been nothing short of an honour, a pleasure and a great, great privilege to represent this massive club - twice!
"So many memories, good ones as well as a few tough ones. But it's the latter especially that made my love for the club grow even stronger.
"The moments when we all stuck together and went again - no matter the disappointment or frustration.
"In these moments the club revealed what makes it most special: YOU.
"The people supporting us week in week out, near and far, demanding, expecting, pushing us to do better and go for glory.
"The people working for the club behind the scenes, meeting us with a smile everyday, doing their absolute best to contribute to the success of the club in their own way.
"You're the heartbeat of the club and it's been an honour to represent you!
"If I would have known that the last 2 games of the season were my last for the club I would have made sure to say goodbye to all of you accordingly.
"Unfortunately, I wasn't afforded that opportunity which saddens me as I would have liked to have walked round Ibrox one last time and returned all the love and support you've given me during my 2 stints.
"I don't know when I'll be back, but I promise I won't be a stranger. Thank you for making me feel at home and appreciated wherever we met.
"You've become more than just my club, you've become family. And for that I will be forever grateful. All the best my people, Leon."
