Hamza Igamane Sends Strong Message Following Danny Rohl Win vs Kilmarnock
When Hamza Igamane posted a simple “Congratulations, bro” underneath his former team-mate Danilo Pereira da Silva’s Instagram goal celebration after Rangers FC’s win over Kilmarnock FC, it offered a small but telling insight into just how much the Moroccan striker still cares about his old club and the players he left behind.
A meaningful gesture
Igamane left Glasgow for Lille OSC in the summer for an impressive fee — following a breakout season with Rangers in which he collected accolades. While many players move on and largely detach themselves from their former clubs, Igamane’s message underlines his enduring respect for his time at Ibrox. Even though he is now plying his trade in France, the moment shows that the bonds formed at Rangers still mean something.
For Danilo, scoring the second in the 3–1 home victory over Kilmarnock also marked a moment of significance for his own season — and Igamane’s message serves as both congratulation and endorsement. It’s a reminder that in the high-pressure world of professional football, the human, relational side still has resonance.
Remembering Igamane at Ibrox
Igamane arrived at Rangers in the summer of 2024 from Moroccan side AS FAR and made an immediate impact, earning the club’s Young Player of the Year and Goal of the Season awards in his first campaign. While his stay was short, his raw talent and cheeky flair won him genuine affection from the Gers faithful.
Fast forward to August 2025 and he had sealed a move to Lille for just over £10 million, ending his time at Ibrox. ([ibroxinsider.com][5]) It’s a reminder that though the chapter at Rangers closed, the season he spent there left a mark — both for club and player.
Why this little moment matters
• It reinforces that player-transfers are about more than contracts and transfer fees — people move on, but memories of shared rooms, training sessions and the Ibrox terraces linger.
• For Rangers fans, seeing Igamane publicly wish a former teammate well may soften the bitter taste of his exit and remind supporters of the good he delivered.
• For Danilo, it’s a boost. A message of support from a fellow forward who wore the same shirt can be a quiet confidence-lift in what can at times feel like a lonely profession.
• On a broader level, it highlights the interconnected world of football — a Moroccan striker departing for France, congratulating a Brazilian forward in Scotland — and how shared experiences transcend geography.
Looking ahead
Igamane will hope to flourish at Lille and continue his upward career trajectory. Meanwhile at Rangers, the win over Kilmarnock under a new manager offers a fresh spark.
With Danilo on the scoresheet and Igamane watching on (albeit from afar), it’s a moment of symmetry: both players moving forward, yet bound by shared history.
In short: a short Instagram comment, but one loaded with meaning. With every goal Danilo scores, and every milestone Igamane reaches abroad, this small moment of connection stands as a reminder that in football, the past doesn’t entirely fade when you move on.
