Why Rangers should consider selling Hamza Igamane
The 22-year-old Moroccan has chipped in with 15 goals and three assists, including a stunning hat-trick against Hibernian in January, earning a well-deserved spot on the shortlist for the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award. He also scooped Men's Young Player of the Year and Men's Goal of the Season at Rangers' in-house ceremony last Sunday. With a summer transfer window looming, the question on many minds is whether this is the moment for Rangers to make a profit on their rising star. Speaking on Premier Sports' Scottish Football Social Club, Hutton didn't shy away from the possibility of Igamane leaving Ibrox, suggesting that if a big offer came in, the club's hierarchy should seriously consider cashing in. Read more: "Look, he's young," Hutton said. "I think what we've seen from Rangers for a number of years now, they've not been able to sell at the right moment in time, so for me, I think he's done well. He's still young, and I think he will improve and get better. But if a big bid came in for him, you have to sell him. "How much are we talking? A big bid of £10million? I think you have to let him go for the money you brought him in for. For me it would be a no-brainer. They've made too many mistakes in the past." While Hutton is clear about the financial reasoning behind selling the £2.5m recruit a year on from his arrival from FAR Rabat, he also offered his thoughts on where Igamane's best position might be. "It also depends on where you play him," Hutton explained. "I don't think he's an out-and-out number nine. That's why Barry Ferguson went for [Cyriel] Dessers. He wants a focal point, a guy that's going to run in behind. "Igamane is more of a float. He likes to move about and get involved in play, linking up. Yes, he can score goals, of course, but it's all dependent on the bid and where you see his strongest position."

Rangers Player of the Year round-up as two stars do double
Although it hasn't been the finest season on the park for the Ibrox club, there are several moments to remember, such as Hamza Igamane's late winner at Celtic Park, which won Men's Goal of the Season. The Moroccan forward then picked up his second award of the evening when he was named Men's Young Player of the Year. Read more: Midfielder Nicolas Raskin, who has been a standout this campaign, also won two awards, taking the Men's Players' Player of the Year and Supporters' Player of the Year titles. Elsewhere, 16-year-old Aidan McCallion, who has recently appeared on the bench for the first team, won the Academy Player of the Year, as captain James Tavernier picked up a special recognition award for reaching 500 appearances. The Sam English Bowl, awarded to Rangers' men's top goalscorer, was won by Cyriel Dessers, who has netted 24 in 51 appearances this campaign so far. The John Greig CBE Achievement Award, presented to recognise a player's commitment and dedication to the club, was given to John Souttar. Katie Wilkinson was named Women's Players' Player of the Year, as well as Women's top scorer. Mia McAulay won the Women's Young Player of the Year award, with Chelsea Cornet's winner in a 3-2 victory over Celtic dubbed Women's Goal of the Season. Rangers' men's side are back in action this weekend when they welcome Celtic to Ibrox for the final derby clash of the season.
