Igamane Set for Rangers Exit as Personal Terms Agreed with European Club
Hamza Igamane’s brief spell at Rangers appears to be drawing to a close, with the Moroccan forward reportedly on the verge of leaving Ibrox after reaching an agreement on personal terms with a European side.
The 21-year-old arrived in Glasgow last summer amid high expectations following a promising rise in Moroccan football, but he struggled to make a consistent impact in his debut season in Scotland. Now, just a year after his arrival, sources indicate that a deal is edging closer which would see him depart the Scottish Premiership.
While the identity of the interested club remains undisclosed, it’s understood that negotiations between the two sides are progressing positively. Personal terms between Igamane and the European outfit have already been agreed, leaving only the finer details of the transfer fee and structure to be ironed out.
For Rangers boss Russell Martin, the likely exit presents yet another challenge in what is already shaping up to be a crucial summer rebuild at Ibrox. Martin, appointed earlier this month as part of the club’s new direction under 49ers Enterprises, is tasked with closing the gap to arch-rivals Celtic and returning Rangers to the summit of Scottish football. That task is made more difficult by the potential loss of one of the few young attacking assets in the squad.
Igamane made limited appearances in his debut campaign, often playing second fiddle to more established names in the forward line. Although he showed flashes of ability and technical promise, injuries and tactical adjustments under the previous coaching regime limited his involvement. With Martin now overseeing a tactical overhaul and a focus on more dynamic attacking options, Igamane has seemingly fallen down the pecking order.
The Moroccan’s departure would also open up space in the squad for further reinforcements, with Rangers already active in the transfer market. The club has secured the signing of midfielder Lyall Cameron and is pursuing several targets across defence and attack as Martin looks to implement his style ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
There is, however, an understanding within the club that any incomings may need to be balanced by outgoings. Igamane’s potential sale would represent a strategic move—clearing wages and recouping part of the investment made last summer.
Though the move may disappoint fans who were hopeful of seeing Igamane fulfil his potential in blue, there is little suggestion of animosity. The player is said to be keen on the switch, viewing it as a better platform for regular football and continued development.
As the window gathers pace, all eyes at Ibrox will be on Martin’s next steps. With exits looming and arrivals expected, the transformation of Rangers under his stewardship is well underway—and Igamane’s departure may be just the beginning.
