He obviously knows the Turkish leagues and Turkish teams really well so I'll definitely get some advice from him."But it's just special for me to play in a place like Istanbul, it means so much to my family and I. It gives me extra motivation to play well on Thursday night."Having joined Rangers five years ago from Belgian side Genk, Hagi is out of contact this summer."I don't think it's the right moment to talk about my future," he said."My full focus right now is on Rangers and the game on Thursday. I've waited for a year to get back on the European stage so I'm too excited for the game to think about the future."It doesn't make sense because football changes really quickly. The club and my agents have to talk about that."For me right now - and it's an honest answer - I'm not really thinking about the future. It's just about what I can do in this game, then it's the next game and so on."
