Hamza Igamane has missed Rangers training this morning. 

The squad are preparing for the second leg of their Champions League playoff tie against Club Brugge. 

The Belgians walked away from Ibrox last Tuesday evening as 3-1 winners. 

Rangers then travelled to face St Mirren at the weekend in the Scottish Premiership and drew 1-1.

Post-match, boss Russell Martin revealed that striker Igamane refused to come on as a second-half substitute, claiming he was injured, despite having no issues in the days leading up to the match or before kick-off in the warm-up. 

This morning, he missed training, with Rangers preparing for his exit. 

Indeed, The Rangers Review reported earlier this summer that contact was made between the player’s camp and Lille and last week, the French club saw a loan bid dismissed for the Moroccan. 

In taking the matter public, Martin hasn’t strengthened the club’s negotiating position, although sources with knowledge of the situation believe that Lille are still expected to return with a bid for the 22-year-old this window. 

Igamane played 46 times for Rangers last season, scoring 16 goals and assisting three.

He has yet to find the back of the net in 2025/26 amid a disrupted start to the campaign.
