Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi has predicted his son will outshine him - thanks to the management of Steven Gerrard.
Last month Ianis Hagi completed a permanent move to Rangers, having joined on an initial loan deal in January.
The 21-year-old has big shoes to fill, as his father is considered the nation's greatest ever player having turned out for the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.
But the 'Maradona of the Carpathians' believes his son can outshine his own achievements.
Hagi senior said: "I'm confident Ianis will be a better player than I was.
"I trust Ianis. I am convinced he is part of a generation of young Romanian players who will make the national team great again.
"He has progressed, gained experience, he's become more mature and he's worked hard to get this transfer. He's had to suffer a lot and he's learned a lot.
"Ianis has signed for the ideal club for him because he is working with an extraordinary manager who appreciates him very much and he's playing for a great side.
"Rangers are perfect for him because they have the best mentality I have ever seen at a club - they are a big club who have to win.
"He is working with a great manager in a perfect environment for him because the mindset of Rangers is only to win.
"His manager believes in him and thinks he can make him one of the best players in the world.
"Steven Gerrard has lived through this before. He knows what to do with Ianis and I know he will make him a better player.
"He's with the right club and I know he will get better every day. He will be a bigger player than me if he keeps working hard and learning."
