Hamza Igamane names his biggest motivator and how he will 'erase' his faults

Rangers forward Hamza Igamane says he is still far from reaching his potential and that he needs to continually work to improve.

The Moroccan has scored 13 goals and assisted a further three for the Ibrox side this season, emerging as a viable option at the top end of the park for Philippe Clement.

Igamane has netted important strikes both domestically and in Europe, although reckons he isn't anywhere near his best: "I am still far from my potential," he said (Onze).

"I need to work a lot, nothing replaces continuity in work. This is the only way I will be able to erase my faults.

"My margin for improvement is important, it's the thing that motivates me the most: work, work, work, and see how far it will take me. I want to maintain my progress, show continuity in my work and take additional steps because I am not yet where I want to be."

Still just 22 years of age, Igamane came to Rangers from Morocco as somewhat of an unknown.

It took him a while to get consistent minutes at Ibrox, although when he eventually did, his capabilities were clear to see.

Predominantly a striker, Igamane says he is also comfortable operating anywhere across the frontline: "I am a centre forward by trade, that is clear," he said.

"Afterwards, I remain a player capable of adapting to various systems of play and various positions if asked. For example, I can easily occupy the left or right flank.

"However, I am attracted to the axis, of course, because my objective is to make the net tremble. I think that is normal, a striker lives to score."

Igamane starts for Rangers at Tynecastle this afternoon as Clement's side looks to get back on track against Hearts.
