Russell Martin has revealed he expects Hamza Igamane to leave Rangers in the near future.
The Ibrox boss has confirmed it's thought the player will leave the club with the situation over his future to "come to a close soon".
The Rangers manager made the statement in his press conference ahead of the Champions League play-off round second leg against Club Brugge.
Russell Martin expects the Igamane situation to ‘come to a close soon’ and that he won’t be a Rangers player. Had a scan yesterday. Igamane hasn’t been in so it ‘hasn’t been disruptive’.

Igamane has not been in training with Rangers since the 1-1 draw against St Mirren where he did not come off the bench after complaining of an injury.
The forward, who has been wanted by Lille, has had a scan after stating he could not play in Paisley on Sunday after being named on the bench.
Martin, when asked about Igamane's potential injury, said he would not anticipate any issue and would be expected to pass a medical.
"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."

After the draw with St Mirren, Martin said of Igamane: "I wanted to bring him on at around 60 minutes, and he said he has a sore quad, so he can't come on.
"He wouldn't be on the bench if he's not fit, yeah, yeah. So he said he'd done it while warming up.
"We turned down a bid this week, but we'll assess his injury and I have to trust that Hamza, so we'll see what happens.
"We'll assess Hamza. Hopefully it's not too bad and we'll see what happens."
