Hamza Igamane refused to come on as a second-half substitute during Rangers' 1-1 Scottish Premiership draw at St Mirren, claiming injury despite training and completing the warm-up in Paisley. Rangers rejected a bid for Igamane earlier in the week amid transfer interest in the Morocco international. The refusal occurred while Rangers chased an equaliser. The club highlighted the complications of an open transfer window and the presence of players with uncertain commitment. Rangers stressed the need to maintain a squad of players who want to be at the club and expressed calm about the situation.
"I turned around to him at 60 minutes and Hamza told me he's injured," Martin told Sky Sports. "I have to trust him, but we'll see." "The issue is that the window is still open and there are people with one eye out and one eye in," Martin said. "We had a bid this week for Hamza that we rejected. "There are too many people uncertain and we have to make sure we have people that want to be here. I'm calm about it."
