A furious Kris Boyd has told Hamza Igamane to pack his bags at Rangers if he feigned injury to avoid coming on as a substitute.
The Moroccan forward has been the subject of transfer interest from Lille in France and Feyenoord in the Eredivisie all summer, with Gers rejecting multiple bids for the 22-year-old.
Igamane looked set to come off the bench with his side 1-0 down to St Mirren in Paisley in the second half only for boss Russell Martin to then turn to Mohamed Diomande and Kieran Dowell.
In the immediate wake of the 1-1 draw, Martin revealed that the striker was not brought on after informing the coaching staff that he was injured, with the Light Blues boss also confirming that another bid for his services had been turfed out during the week.
And Ibrox hero Boyd was not holding back on his thoughts on the situation if Igamane’s claims are indeed false.
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: “I said it a couple of weeks ago that the players have been running the club for far too long now.
“If he is injured, he’s injured but I highly doubt it.

“If that is the case and I am Rangers Football Club, I am packing his bags, driving him to the airport and saying bye.
“If you don’t have people who are willing to knuckle down and work hard to help this team at the moment, then see you later.
“It’s at boiling point right now with the fans towards the manager and the team. If Russell Martin is not strong to see this through, he is going to join Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Phillippe Clement and Michael Beale in going out the door.
“He needs to get the right type of characters in this dressing room and quick.
“I remember Daniel Cousin (at Rangers) absolutely tore Celtic apart at the end of a transfer window.
“But he went and done it the right way by saying ‘I am going to put a in a performance and leave the next day after that’.
“That’s not going about it the right way by (Igamane) refusing to come on and help your teammates.”
