Martin ‘working out ways’ for Dessers & Igamane to play together

Can Rangers strikers Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane play together?

Russell Martin believes so, with the Ibrox head coach aiming to work out how the duo can feature in the same team.

Dessers and Igamane, who have both been linked with moves away this summer, have had disrupted pre-seasons.

Nigeria forward Dessers has had an injury problem, while there have been visa issues for Moroccan Igamane.

Martin is now delighted to have the pair included in training with Tuesday’s Champions League second-round qualifier first leg against Panathinaikos fast approaching.

The duo are included in Martin’s squad for that game, but it remains to be seen whether either of them will be fit to start the match at Ibrox.

“They are both a little bit behind in terms of fitness,” the Rangers boss said.

“But both are working incredibly hard to get there. I’ve been enjoying having them on the training pitch properly for a week now.”

Speaking to Rangers TV, Martin added: “They are both going to be ready to help us, which is really important. We need talent at the top end and goals in the team and both definitely bring that.

“We’re going to try and work out ways for them to play together at times. It might be one, it might be both, and it’s up to us to work out what they can do and what they’re comfortable doing.”
