IT’S been just a day since Hamza Igamane’s departure from Rangers was confirmed.
But he could already be in line to make his first appearance for his new club – despite telling Russell Martin he was INJURED during last week’s draw with St Mirren.

Igamane was spotted arriving with his Lille teammates at Lorient’s stadium for their Ligue 1 clash today.
His shirt, featuring the same number 29 which he wore at Rangers, was also seen hanging up before kick-off.
The Moroccan has been named on the bench for the first time for his new side.
Igamane seemed to be out of favour from the start under Martin, only coming off the bench three times under the new Gers boss.

He was again a substitute against St Mirren last week, and seemed set to come on with his side trailing 1-0.
But he sat back down after his warm-up, and Martin later revealed that the forward had REFUSED to come on.
Martin said: “Hamza told me he was injured.
“We had a bid this week for Hamza, we rejected it.
“All was fine, he trained fine yesterday and warmed up fine.
“I turned around to him at 60 minutes because I wanted two strikers on the pitch and Hamza told me he’s injured.
“The issue is that the window is still open and there are people with one eye out and one eye in.
“We need people to be all in all the time at this football club, we really need that.
“There are too many people uncertain, still trying to think maybe there’s something there for them.”
