Rangers outcast Ianis Hagi has been shining for the B team while he remains cut off from the senior squad.
The 25-year-old has not featured for first team this season after failing to secure a move away in the summer.
Hagi spent last season on loan at La Liga side Alaves before returning to Rangers ahead of pre-season.

The Romanian international has since been dropped to the B team after reportedly being told he was not part of Philippe Clement’s plans at Ibrox and was free to leave the club.
Hagi was named in the starting lineup for a B team match with Huddersfield Town on Tuesday at the Rangers Training Centre, scoring a sensational free kick and a 90th-minute winner to help secure a 3-2 victory.

The club’s ‘B’ team and academy account tweeted: “Rangers are awarded another free-kick on the edge of the Huddersfield box following a foul on Nsio. Hagi steps up and drills the strike into the top corner.”
He assisted Findlay Curtis's opening goal and scored the winner in the 90th minute to cement the win through a low, powerful curled drive.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
