Igamane may not be fluent Glaswegian just yet but there is no doubt he's now doing some serious talking on the pitch

- ANDY NEWPORT

HAMZA IGAMANE may still be getting to grips with the local lingo in Glasgow.

But Rangers strike partner Danilo reckons the young Moroccan's potential speaks for itself.

This summer's £1.8million signing from FAR Rabat has taken time settling into life at Ibrox.

Five months on from being unveiled, though, Igamane is now quickly translating the promise that prompted Philippe Clement to make him a priority purchase into goals.

Igamane arrived in Scotland packing fragments of French, allowing him to communicate with his boss through team-mate turned interpreter Nico Raskin.

But the 22-year-old is now busy learning English.

In the meantime, he's letting his ability do the talking and Danilo has certainly been impressed by what Igamane has to say for himself on the field.

His ferocious strike in Wednesday's walloping of Kilmarnock was his third goal in as many games - fourth in total after announcing himself with a Europa League double in Nice.

But it was a display that proved Clement wasn't spouting hot air with his insistence Igamane is the real deal, given the frontman was at the heart of everything positive Rangers created.

Danilo said: "He's a great player. He's been working really hard since he came that includes the language.

"It's difficult for him but we try to help him as much as we can. Nico's been speaking with him a lot because he can speak French.
