Celtic-killer revealed as Rangers make move for Morocco superstar | OneFootball

Only yesterday Ibrox Noise was preaching the importance of getting some Rangers men back into Govan, to restore a bit of the soul of the club, which currently is danger of completely losing its identity, when we get massively heavily linked to some random Moroccan kid no one has heard of from Tytania Division 3 group F.

Ok slight exaggeration but you get the point, this £1.3M striker, who’s 14th in Morocco’s top scorers, doesn’t exactly get the fires going any more than Jefte or Nsiala did.

The readership agreed with us completely, which is pretty rare in fairness, that we need Rangers identity back, but it does appear both this manager and his scouting just aren’t interested in Scottish let alone Rangers.

Yes, we shall see on Connor Barron, but that’s only one alone, and unless he randomly turns out to be a lifelong Rangers man who was born under a Union Flag while singing the Sash, we’re not sure he’ll fix it all either.

But this is how it is, and it’s with that cynical opener out of the way we do indeed turn our attention to Hamza Igamane. Nope, no one had heard of this guy, and we can’t say Morocco is exactly a heaving underbelly of outstanding football, but this is the random wtf market we’re in these days.

So let’s look at what is likely to be our new Celtic-killing striker.

He’s 21, playing for the second-biggest/best side in Morocco FAR Rabat, and has a street value of about £500,000, so it stands to reason we’d pay 3 times that.

13 goals and assists in 20 in the mighty Botola Pro Inwi league, Morocco’s top flight, which is decent numbers in fairness, but to be exact, it’s 7 goals, which is not quite ‘prolific’, is it?

And it’s in the world league equivalent of the Eastbourne Pub Collection Group C, sadly.

Not quite the Premier League anyway.

But as it is, this looks like being our next big striker – not Shankland, Miovski or even now-departed Abdallah Sima, but another kid, another project, from another unheard of region from the Himalayas.

We probably sound very mildly racist, in this woke world you can’t make light references to where a football backwater is without being slaughtered for it on grounds of PC, but we also don’t care.

We don’t generally mind where a player comes from, but that has limits.

And a 7 goal 21-year-old striker from the Outer Hebrides of football probably isn’t the marquee type we want.
