Well now, let's take a gander at the life and times of one Hamza Igamane, shall we? Born in the sun-soaked lands of Morocco on the 2nd of November, 2002, which makes the lad just 21 years of age as of now. Despite being born in a country famed for its exotic allure, Mr. Igamane seems to have found himself in the rather less appealing climes of Scotland, playing primarily as a forward for... sigh... Rangers. Standing at an average-ish height of about 5ft 11in (or 1.81m if you prefer the Continental way of doing things) and weighing in at a fit 12st 1lb (that's 77kg for those of you reading in kilometres), he struts his stuff wearing the number 29 jersey. A bold choice.
In January 2021, young Hamza hotfooted it to the Botola in Morocco to join FAR Rabat. He went on to make a decent fist of things in his debut season of 2022-2023, making 18 first team appearances and tucking away half a dozen goals. The next season saw him slightly increase his tally to a gargantuan seven GOALS in twenty appearances for FAR Rabat. The boy was truly on fire.
Come July 2024, someone at Rangers (I'll assume they had a momentary lapse of reason) thought it'd be a cracking idea to handover approximately £1.5m to FAR Rabat to acquire the services of Igamane. And here we are in the 2024-2025 season, where Igamane has graced the turf for all but four glorious first team appearances in the Premiership.
And to add a cherry atop this cake of mediocrity, he found himself warming the bench in the League Cup 2024-2025 for Rangers, managing to make one appearance as a substitute. No doubt, the stuff of real footballing legends. Here's to hoping his career at Rangers will live up to the promisingly average start it's had.
