Hamza Igamane was the hero with a stunning double and assist performance for Rangers in the Europa League victory over OGC Nice.
The 22-year-old striker put in a marvellous number nine display to help fire Rangers to a famous 4-1 victory over the Ligue 1 side in France.
The result puts Rangers within sight of the Europa League knockouts and earned the Ibrox club a tasty UEFA win bonus in the process.
And come the final whilst there was only one player on the lips of Rangers supporters as Hamza Igamane earned the plaudits of the Ibrox support.
But it wasn’t just the Gers support who sat up and took notice.
Rangers and Morocco fans laud Hamza Igamane
One support said that ‘surely’ Hamza Igamane has ‘got to start Sunday’ after the excellent display against OGC Nice in France.
Another, who the described Igamane as a ‘glorious king’ claimed that the striker ‘proved his point’ with a wonderful performance after replacing Cyriel Dessers.
It’s not just Rangers fans who’re running out of superlatives for the hitman either, with Igamane turning heads amongst football fans in his home country of Morocco too.
Hamza Igamane steals Europa League headlines
It was a resounding victory for Rangers against OGC Nice in the Europa League and Hamza Igamane was central to the performance.
With Cyriel Dessers under immense pressure at Ibrox, the Moroccan striker bursting onto the scene might just have come at the perfect time with a hectic run of fixtures ahead this winter.
Signed in the summer on a £1.7m deal from FAR Rabat, Igamane clearly possesses some real, raw talent and Rangers fans are excited about how that develops over the coming months.
The young Moroccan is also attracting attentions from football fans in his homeland and let’s hope this is the start of something special.
