Rangers issue statement as £10.5m Hamza Igamane transfer exit confirmed

Rangers have confirmed Hamza Igamane has completed his transfer exit to Lille.

The forward has left Ibrox to join the Ligue 1 club in a deal worth £10.5m.

Igamane departed Rangers just days after he refused to come on for the club against St Mirren in league, complaining of an injury.

The striker had trained and was fit to be named on the bench but refused to come on in the 60th minute as he informed manager Russell Martin he was injured.

Igamane was not involved in training after the incident but was sent for a scan after his injury claim.

Now, Rangers and Igamane have officially parted ways with the club announcing his departure with a short statement on social media.

It read: "We can confirm Hamza Igamane has joined Lille OSC for an undisclosed fee.

"He leaves with the best wishes of everyone at Rangers."

"I think we all expect that to come to a close very soon and he won't be our player any more," said Martin in his press conference before the loss to Club Brugge.

"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."
