Rangers star Hamza Igamane eyed by new club as race heats up
Hamza Igamane's form for Gers exploded midway through the season after an initial settling in period and, as well as endearing him to supporters, that also put him on the radar of interested clubs.
Premier League giants such as Newcastle, Everton and Tottenham were all quoted after the Moroccan scored against the latter during a 1-1 draw in the Europa League.
The form of the 22-year-old dipped, and he appeared to struggle when played at left wing at times, but his quality is not in question and he has started to show it again in recent games, particularly with a beautiful goal in the win over Aberdeen.

Igamane was already on the radar in France with Marseille named as one of the club's interested.
But now Strasbourg are the latest to show an interest, according to French journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter.
He made a post on social media, which translates to: "Strasbourg is on all fronts. Red-hot scorching on the international Moroccan, none other than Hamza Igamane."
The Ligue 1 side are managed by Englishman Liam Rosenior and owned buy the same company as Chelsea, BlueCo. So they have deep pockets and Rangers would likely be demanding a hefty fee for their prized asset, for whom they paid just £1.7million a year ago.

Saturday's briefing: Ange Postecoglou sacked as Wales ease past Lichtenstein
Wales kept on course for World Cup qualification with a comfortable win over Lichtenstein. Scotland's problems continued as they were humbled 3-1 at home by Iceland. Postecoglou's two-year reign as Tottenham manager came to an end despite having ended the club's 17-year wait for a trophy with victory in the Europa League final. Postecoglou delivered on his promise of 'always' winning in his second season thanks to the 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Bilbao on May 21. It etched the head coach name into the history books as only the third Spurs boss to taste European success and the first since 2008 to lift silverware – provoking an outpouring of affection from a previously split fanbase. A club statement read: 'We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the club. 'Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. 'However, the board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the club for a change to take place.' Wales claimed a routine 3-0 World Cup qualifying win over minnows Liechtenstein on a night overshadowed by an injury to Neco Williams. Joe Rodon's first Wales goal – only his third in senior football – ended Wales' nervous wait to break the deadlock after 39 minutes. Harry Wilson and Kieffer Moore were also on the scoresheet in the space of three second-half minutes as Wales moved to the top of Group J with seven points from three games. But Wales will prepare for Monday's test against group favourites Belgium in Brussels with major concerns over the fitness of Williams. The Nottingham Forest full-back, in trying to cross on the byline midway through the first half, landed awkwardly and was in obvious pain as the Welsh medics ran to treat him. Williams attempted to get to his feet on two occasions before slumping to the turf and eventually left the pitch on a stretcher. Cieran Slicker had a debut to forget as Scotland's World Cup qualifying warm-up friendly ended with a 3-1 defeat by Iceland at Hampden Park. The 22-year-old Ipswich goalkeeper replaced the injured Angus Gunn in the first half, minutes after which he conceded possession before Andri Gudjohnsen beat him with a terrific drive. John Souttar levelled in the 25th minute from a corner but Slicker and his defenders struggled collectively when the visitors regained the lead from a corner, just before the break, with Scotland midfielder Lewis Ferguson putting through his own goal. Slicker was again found wanting in the 52nd minute when he was beaten by a Victor Palsson header, which added the gloss for the visitors. Laget sitt det😍🇳🇴 — Fotballandslaget (@nff_landslag) June 6, 2025 Italy's bid to qualify for a first World Cup since 2014 began in horrendous fashion as they were hammered 3-0 by an impressive Norway side in Oslo. Coach Luciano Spalletti was already under pressure following his team's Nations League quarter-final exit in March, which came off the back of a hugely-underwhelming display at Euro 2024 when the holders were eliminated in the last 16. His position now looks increasingly uncertain following a comprehensive humbling in their opening Group I match as goals from Alexander Sorloth, Antonio Nusa and Erling Haaland in the first half left them trailing Norway by nine points, with only the group winners assured of a spot at the 2026 finals. Taking in tomorrow night's stage 🏟️ — England (@England) June 6, 2025 England will look to uphold their perfect start to Thomas Tuchel's reign when they travel to face Andorra in Catalonia in World Cup qualifying.
