Kris Boyd has urged Rangers to say goodbye to Hamza Igamane, if he refused to play against St Mirren.
The striker told Russell Martin he could not come on as a substitute due to an injury.
Rangers boss Martin had wanted to bring on the striker after an hour in Paisley when he was told of the reported injury issue.

Igamane had trained all week and was involved in the warm-up ahead of the 1-1 draw at the SMiSA Stadium, but did not come on as a substitute.
"Hamza told me he was injured," said Martin.
"We had a bid this week for Hamza, we rejected it, all was fine, trained fine yesterday, warmed up fine.
"I turned around to him at 60 minutes because I wanted two strikers on the pitch.
"And Hamza told me he was injured."

Pushed on whether Igamane is simply refusing to play, Martin added: "I have to trust him, but we will see."
Boyd offered a non-nonsense response to the matter as he urged Rangers to get rid of the striker if indeed he simply refused to play rather than had an injury which prevented his involvement.
"I think I said it a couple of weeks ago in a column, the players have been running the club for far too long now," Boyd said on Sky Sports.
"If he is injured, he's injured. I highly doubt it.
"If that is the case, if I am Rangers Football Club, I go and get his bags packed, drive him to the airport and say bye.
"If you have not got people who are willing to knuckle down, work hard and help this team at this moment in time, then, see you later."
