Ibrox Noise

Rangers have been hit by yet another injury blow, with the ridiculous news that Philippe Clement was in fact apparently fibbing yet again, this time about striker Hamza Igamane.
Clement previously suggested the Moroccan forward was simply green around the ears and wasn’t ready for first-team football at the level of Rangers – a bit of a strange comment about a 21-year-old if we’re honest, hardly a baby, and signed at £2.5M.
More concerningly, sources have informed Ibrox Noise that the real story is he’s actually injured and set to miss the first half of the season.
We don’t know if this injury is new, or if medical incompetence saw him come to Rangers with it already and the docs just missed it, but either way it seems that Rangers have wasted £2.5M on a player who probably can’t be used till next year.
It just adds to the problems Rangers are currently facing, and while we cannot yet fully corroborate this story, it seems to fit perfectly with everything going on down Ibrox way these days.
Rangers’ budget was already weak, and having shelled out £2.5M on what is, so far, our big summer signing, we’ve now blown a tonne of our priceless money on a player we can’t use. It appears that no matter what, we will not be seeing him potentially till approaching Christmas.
It is very telling he’s not even been seen in training yet – this has nothing to do with ‘being green around the gills’, because half the Academy went to Holland and took part in the camp despite not being ready for senior football yet.
Clearly the boy has picked something up along the way and has to sit proceedings out for the time being.
Maybe we will see him in training soon, but we don’t think we’ll be seeing him on the pitch for a long time.
