They say first impressions count, and one of Rangers’ ten summer signings has certainly made a good one.
While Philippe Clement had no qualms about throwing Connor Barron straight in at the deep end before introducing Vaclav Cerny, Jefte and Robin Propper to his starting XI, Hamza Igamane has had to be patient during his first few weeks in Glasgow.Clement put the £1.7 million signing from RAF Rabat in the same category as Clinton Nsiala back in the throes of pre-season.
The two Rangers youngsters, he said, were unlikely to play a leading role in the first-team from the off.
But while former AC Milan starlet Nsiala continues to hone his talents in Rangers’ B team – he played the entire 90 minutes in the SPFL Trust Trophy victory over Fraserburgh – Igamane’s own involvement appears to have been fast-tracked after more than holding his own during those behind-the-scenes training sessions.
