BREAKING NEWS: Hamza Igamane Quits Rangers in Stunning Move, Signs with Lille
In a dramatic turn of events, Moroccan forward Hamza Igamane has officially left Rangers FC after a shocking revelation, securing a move to Ligue 1 side Lille OSC.
Igamane, who only recently joined the Scottish giants in the summer of 2024 from FUS Rabat, was expected to be a key part of Philippe Clement’s rebuilding project at Ibrox. The 21-year-old striker had shown glimpses of promise in pre-season and was considered one of Rangers’ most exciting young acquisitions.
However, sources close to the situation have revealed that an undisclosed issue emerged behind the scenes — reportedly involving contractual complications or personal considerations — which led to the sudden breakdown in the relationship between the player and the club.
Late on Friday, Rangers released a brief statement confirming Igamane’s departure, stating:
Shortly after, Lille OSC announced his signing, unveiling Igamane as their newest attacking addition ahead of the 2025–26 season. The terms of the deal remain undisclosed, though reports suggest Lille moved swiftly to capitalize on the situation.
This unexpected move represents a major blow for Rangers, who had high hopes for the Moroccan international. It also raises questions about internal dynamics at Ibrox and how the club plans to replace the young forward with the season just weeks away.
Igamane, meanwhile, joins a Lille side that continues to prioritize young, emerging talent. Ligue 1 could offer him the stability and development platform he seeks after a turbulent few weeks in Glasgow.
