Igamane bullish ahead of Rangers vs Spurs but admits 'a lot of challenges ahead'

In-form Rangers striker Hamza Igamane insists he is gunning for Spurs ahead of Thursday's huge Europa League clash at Ibrox.

The Moroccan hitman has now scored four goals in four games and has netted three times in Europe after scoring against Steaua Bucharest and helping himself to a double in France against Nice.

He looks certain to get the nod against Tottenham Hotspur, who have been struggling with poor results and injuries and went down to a derby defeat to Chelsea at the weekend when they blew a two-goal lead to lose 4-2.

And Igamane, in an interview in his homeland, believes Rangers can carry on their excellent recent form against Ange Postecoglou's side.

He said: "I know the game against Spurs will not be easy.

"We are facing a team who are very strong and have had some good results in the Europa League.

"But we believe in our capabilities and we want to make our fans happy.

"And Spurs are also going into this game after a loss against Chelsea.

"Personally, I am of course pleased with the performances I have been giving recently. I have scored in my last two games and I am delighted with that.

"As I have said, I feel my adaptation process within the club has gone well and time seems to have passed quickly.

"My first goal is to continue helping my team. I think it has helped because all my teammates welcomed me warmly, helped me integrate and provided me with all the assistance I needed, as well as all the coaching staff.

"We have a lot of challenges ahead at Rangers.

"And looking ahead, the national team is the dream of any Moroccan player.

"Everyone wants to defend the jersey of their country's team. I will continue to work hard to achieve this honour and represent the Moroccan national team."
