The 25-year-old playmaker, who starred for Romania at the Euros this summer, hasn't played for Gers for over a year.
Clement had hinted that he might not play again - but he'll be available to the Belgian again.
Hagi was on loan at Spanish club Alaves last season and was linked with a return to the continent in the summer.
But no deal could be agreed for him to leave and he scored twice in a friendly win over Huddersfield with the Gers B team last week.
Hagi is not included in Clement's 25-man Euro squad and won't be able to face Lyon at Ibrox in the Europa League clash on Thursday night.
But after a peace deal was agreed, he may even be available for Sunday night's Premiership game against St Johnstone at Ibrox.
Hagi's last first-team involvement for Gers was in a Premier Sports Cup win over Morton 14 months ago.
Fiorentina and Galatasaray were linked with the midfielder in the summer but his future could now lie at Ibrox after all.
