In the opening stages of the game the Ibrox star had an unfortunate clash with Dutch defender Denzel Dumfries as he challenged for the ball in an attempt to put his side in front.

The Inter Milan man’s elbow collided with Hagi’s head which started to bleed but thankfully the player was able to return to the field, this time wearing protective netting.

But fans immediately took to social media to compare the protective hardware to a variety of things including an onion.

One fan commented: “Someone put an onion bag on Hagi’s head. Onion Hagi.”

Another agreed: “Hagi out here with the bag you get with onions on his head.”

While another compared him to a dinner lady: “For real though, the f*** on Hagi’s head? Proper giving dinner lady.”

And fourth then asks, “Why they got Hagi looking like he can’t leave Tesco without the alarms going off”, as they compared the star to a vodka bottle wrapped in mesh.

The 25-year-old is hoping to step out of his father’s shadow as he looks to make an impact for Romania at Euro 2024.

He is the son of the country’s greatest-ever player Gheorghe Hagi.

The latter turned out for both Real Madrid and Barcelona and even became a club legend at Turkish giants Galatasaray during the 1990s where Hagi was born.

Hagi made a name for himself in Europe after joining joined Rangers on an initial six-month loan under Steven Gerrard in January 2020.

A horror ACL injury hindered his progress and he joined La Liga side Alaves last summer on a season-long loan to revive his career.

Romania Euro 2024 guide

FORMER World Cup quarter-finalists Romania are back after eight years without qualifying for a tournament.

They aren’t pretty to watch but they are effective and topped their qualifying group unbeaten ahead of Switzerland.

MANAGER: Edward Iordanescu

His father Anghel managed them at the 1994 World Cup where they reached the last eight. Tough act to follow.

STAR MAN: Radu Dragusin

Has struggled to win a first team place at Spurs but has been a stalwart at international level.

How Romania attack

Romania will play out from the back and play one or two-touch passes to break between the lines.

However, they can run out of ideas when faced with a low block.

How Romania defend

Romania do not tend to press high as a unit and their players can be dragged out of position up the pitch.

However, they are far more effective close to their own goal with the midfield dropping deep to support the back four.
