Rangers star Hamza Igamane insists his dream has already come true by being called up to the Morocco men's A squad.
However, the striker wants to represent his country as they take on Niger in their World Cup qualifier tomorrow night.
Fresh from scoring the winner at Celtic Park on Sunday, as Barry Ferguson's men ran out 3-2 victors in Glasgow's east end, Igamane joined up with his new international teammates in his homeland.
He spoke of his sheer pride and his aims as he looks to stake his claim for a starting spot in Walid Regragui's team.
