Injury in the last Old Firm match deprived the Romanian of the opportunity to say goodbye to the fans in person.
But he's posted an emotional farewell message to Gers supporters on his Instagram.
He said: "My time at Rangers has come to an end and I want to thank everyone who made it unforgettable.
"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."
The attacker initially joined Rangers on loan before making a permanent move in the summer of 2020.
He made more than 130 appearances for the club and helped Rangers to clinch the Premiership title in 2021.
A statement on Rangers website said: "After various conversations, both the club and Ianis have decided to part ways and mutually agreed to bring their time together to an end.
"It's after years full of great achievements and tough moments, always driven by the same ambition and commitment to the team."

Meanwhile, there could be developments in the race to find Rangers next manager.
SunSport revealed it had come down to a head-to-head between Steven Gerrard and Russell Martin.
But Reports in Spain suggest that Davide Ancelotti could yet still be in the frame for the job.
It is believed he will still link up with his legendary father Carlo at the Brazil national team for World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay before setting out on his own this summer.
