Ianis Hagi Rangers return chances addressed by dad Gheorghe
He was linked with a surprise return to Ibrox last week and he's also been targeted by Polish side Legia Warsaw and clubs in the Gulf, after initial reported interest from clubs in Germany and Italy cooled.
But his legendary father - former Real Madrid and Barcelona icon Gheorghe - has poured scorn on any chance of his son going back to Glasgow.

He said: "I read that Ianis is returning to Rangers....
"Let's all be serious about this.
"He's gone there, he's closed that chapter in his career, he's closed it firmly.
"He did very well at Rangers. Don't forget that.
"He is a Romanian player who succeeded in an important country at a very big club.
"There's a lot of speculation, it's normal there is talk because he's a free agent.
"Ianis, from a young age, was raised to make decisions. He was raised to have a personality and make his own mind up.
"He will decide where he wants to go and even if we do consult and talk, the decision is 100 per cent his alone."

Lennon Miller transfer latest as appearance vs Rangers 'not ruled out' with Serie A duo primed amid £5m demand
Miller is hot property and Udinese and Bologna are taking a keen interest but no fresh bids have arrived Udinese and Bologna are yet to make the first move in the summer race for Lennon Miller. The Serie A rivals are both keen on Well's £5m-rated teen ace. But neither has yet submitted a bid this window - and manager Jens Berthel Askou could hand the playmaker a first appearance of the season in the Premiership opener against Rangers next Saturday. Miller has sat out the four Premier Sports Cup group games so far and again wasn't involved in Friday's friendly draw with Hertha Berlin at Fir Park. And Askou said: 'I don't expect his situation to be resolved in the next few days. 'There's nothing new on Lennon Miller so right now he's still our player and he's back in little bit of training and I look forward to seeing him on Monday. 'There is a possibility of him playing against Rangers but again we will have to get some answers next week. It's not ruled out.' Miller has entered the final year of his contract in Lanarkshire and Well are demanding a record fee for the academy product. Udinese had a £2.5m bid rejected in January but are weighing up a fresh offer. Bologna too are long term admirers of the midfielder who made his Scotland debut in last month's friendly double header against Iceland and Luxembourg. Celtic too have been keeping tabs on the 18-year-old while there's been interest in Germany and England. But so far no fresh offers have been tabled this window. Miller's dad Lee, the former Aberdeen, Hearts and Falkirk striker, admitted last month that a move abroad was his son's preferred option. Coppa Italia champions Bologna, captained by Miller's Scotland team mate Lewis Ferguson, return to competitive action on August 23 with a Serie A opener away to Roma. Udinese, who finished 12th last season, are back in action five days earlier in a Coppa Italia first round meeting with Carrarese.

Hamza Igamane at centre of fresh Rangers riddle as talisman left out of Middlesbrough friendly amid transfer links
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HAMZA IGAMANE has been left OUT of today's Rangers squad for the friendly clash vs Middlesbrough. It's the latest mystery in a close season which has seen the mercurial little Moroccan consistently linked with a move away from the club. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Rangers manager Russell Martin acknowledges the crowd Credit: PA 3 Hamza Igamane is a no show in today's Rangers vs Middlesbrough match Credit: Willie Vass Visa issues played their part in the striker's late arrival for pre-season training - although he produced an eye-catching cameo in the 2-0 pre-season first leg win against Panathinaikos. French outfit Lille are known to be admirers of the player - with the likes of Premier League Everton also credited with an interest. And there's sure to be fresh speculation about the player's future after his omission from today's line-up - especially as Russell Martin did nothing to clear up the uncertainty. While Martin wasn't specifically asked about the star, who was left out despite only playing the latter stages in midweek, he said: "There's a lot of opportunity for players who didn't play in midweek. "There will be a lot of different players on the pitch today. The team that finishes will look very different from the one that starts. "It's huge for the young players they need to experience it and feel it and be part of something long term here. "There's also a couple of guys coming back from minor injuries and knocks and there first time on the pitch." 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Former Rangers winger Cerny set for next transfer switch
The Turkish side has made an offer to Wolfsburg, with an option to buy the Czech international. Cerny has no future at the Bundesliga club, who are looking to reduce their squad size before the new season. Last season, he made a significant impact at Rangers, scoring 18 goals in 47 starts across all competitions. Six of those goals came in European matches, including a brace in the 3-1 victory over Fenerbahce in Istanbul. Besiktas, Fenerbahce's rivals, are keen to add the 27-year-old to their ranks for the upcoming season. Rangers were unable to re-sign Cerny due to Wolfsburg's £10 million asking price. He is now set to continue his football career in Turkey.
