“Rangers’ Potential Pre-Season Setback: Igamane’s Olympics Commitment Could Delay Ibrox Arrival”
According to the Scottish Sun, Hamza Igamane may miss Rangers’ pre-season if he moves to Ibrox this summer. The newspaper reported on June 21 that the 21-year-old AS FAR striker has agreed to a four-year contract with the Glasgow club, but his participation in the Olympics could delay his arrival for training with his new teammates.
Igamane has been a regular for the Moroccan under-23 team, and if selected for the Olympics, he would be unable to join Rangers for their pre-season campaign.
Additionally, adapting to life in Scotland and the physical demands of the Scottish Premiership will present challenges for the young striker, who has not previously played outside Morocco. The adjustment to a new country, culture, and league can be a complex process, potentially impacting his performance on the field.
Pre-season training is crucial for building fitness, strength, understanding teammates’ playing styles, and familiarizing oneself with the club’s tactics and facilities. Missing this period could leave Igamane at a disadvantage compared to his peers, potentially delaying his integration into Rangers.
Furthermore, it remains uncertain whether Philippe Clement views him as a regular starter, as Igamane may not be a name that excites fans or strengthens the starting eleven.
Looking ahead, Rangers may prioritize marquee signings after Euro 2024 to bolster their squad.
