When Sven Vandenbroeck first fast-tracked a teenage Hamza Igamane into his top team, even the academy coaching staff at ASFAR Rabat weren’t sure if the youngster would ever cut it.
Three years later almost all of Morocco now is hoping the Rangers new boy could be on the verge of becoming the nation’s next superstar.
Belgian coach Vandenbroeck plucked Igamane straight out of the youth ranks towards the end of his first season at the north African club in 2021, when the striker was playing three years above his age level with the club’s under 20s.
And ASFAR ended up reaping the rewards when Philippe Clement splashed out a fee of almost £2m to lure Igamane to Glasgow in the summer.
