Player to watch - Hamza Igamane

Hamza Igamane is the man of the moment for Rangers - and has played a major role in keeping manager Philippe Clement in a job.

Having been viewed as a long-term project when signed from AS FAR in his native Morocco last summer, the 22-year-old striker has in recent months become the go-to man up front.

If it was not for his 11 goals - seven in the Premiership - with a double in the 2-2 draw with Motherwell and hat-trick in the 3-3 thriller with Hibernian, the Ibrox side could have slipped even further than their current 18 points behind leaders Celtic.

Igamane's emergence has been crucial for Clement along with Ianis Hagi's four league assists since the classy Romania midfielder returned to the fold after a contractual issue.

No wonder that, when Patrick Stewart took a special media conference on Saturday to stress the board's continued backing for Clement, the new chief executive vowed that Rangers have no intention of selling Igamane in the January transfer window.
