Rangers Forward Hamza Igamane Leaves for Lille in £10.4m Transfer

Hamza Igamane is set to leave Rangers after Lille triggered his £10.4 million release clause, with the Morocco striker having already undergone a medical in France. The move comes after controversy during a Scottish Premiership match against St Mirren, where Igamane claimed injury to avoid coming off the bench, despite scans showing no injury. Rangers head coach Russell Martin acknowledged the difficulty of the situation, noting Igamane's desire to move on and the challenges of asking a young player to stay committed when his future lies elsewhere. Martin also emphasized that the incident was not disruptive to the team's preparations and expressed relief that the deal would soon be finalized. Igamane signed a five-year contract with Lille, departing Rangers just one year after joining from AS FAR, having scored 16 goals in his debut season. Rangers are now focusing on moving forward and replacing any departing players before the transfer deadline.
