Hamza Igamane Rangers transfer exit close as release clause met

Rangers have accepted a transfer bid from Lille for striker Hamza Igamane.

Ibrox chiefs have secured a £10.5m transfer fee for the forward to leave the club just days after he refused to come on against St Mirren, complaining of an injury.

Igamane has not been involved in Rangers training since the incident on Sunday. The player has had a scan on his injury complaints but Russell Martin expects he will pass a medical to finalise his move to France.

According to The Rangers Review, Rangers had rebuffed an offer from Lille to sign Igamane on loan. However, talks restarted on Monday with Lille meeting a release clause in Igamane's contract.

"I think we all expect that to come to a close very soon and he won't be our player any more," said Martin.

"That will be that, and everyone else is pretty much here. So looking forward to a big game tomorrow."

Quizzed on whether it has been disruptive, he said: "Not really. I haven't seen him.

"He had a scan yesterday and got assessed.

"He wasn't in so it hasn't been disruptive for us at all."

Martin added: "Ideally, it wouldn't have happened but it did, so we move on.

"I expect him to pass his medical."
