Unreliable sources have posited that Hamza Igamane is an apparent footballer, who showed up on this blessed Earth in Morocco on 2 November 2002. This makes him a ripe old age of 22, in case you haven’t dusted off your calculator. If you've been cast adrift without the faintest idea who this lad is, don't fret; he's an alleged professional goal prodder who’s currently depositing his self-respect at Rangers and wearing the number 29 jersey,
Measuring in at a waistline-encouraging 5ft 11in (1.81m for those picking metric cherries), and weighing a possibly exaggerated 12st 1lb (77kg for the Europeans), the lad has no room for any traditional Scottish deep-fried meals in his diet. Historically, in January 2021, our dear Hamza took a stroll to FAR Rabat in the Botola Pro league of Morocco, where he obviously couldn’t resist the lure of a bit more sun.
We're led to believe in his debut season (2022-2023), he managed to cobble together 18 appearances and a satisfying tally of six goals. The following year he flashed his boots a further 20 times on the pitch, while netting seven balls in the process.
In a most shocking turn of events that would have a seismograph shivering, our well-travelled protagonist decided to pack up his sun cream, sand toys, couscous and trade it all in for some tartan and haggis. In July 2024, he jumped onto a plane, with a departure point of Morocco in the rear-view mirror, and a destination stamp of Scotland's Premiership landing a punch on the passport. This flight of fancy reportedly cost the Rangers a princely sum of £1.5m. But hey, who’s counting?
During his tourist season of 2024-2025 in 'the land of bagpipes', he pulled on the Rangers kit for 33 games and even knocked in 12 goals. As for the current 2025-2026 season, Igamane seems to be suffering the Glaswegian equivalent of a siesta, as he’s yet to grace the pitch with his pricey presence.
And like a rare bird sighted in the wilderness, Igamane managed appearances in the League Cup 2025-2026 (1 sub showing), Scottish Cup 2024-2025 (1 start), Champions League Qualifiers 2025-2026 (2 sub shots), and Europa League 2024-2025 (4 starts and 6 sub showings with four goals). May this summary help illuminate the enigmatic saga of Hamza Igamane before it gently fades into the fog of footy folklore.
