Ibrox boss has to take rap for ropey Gers ON the pitch but don't blame him for a guy determined to stay OFF it

Sulk showed why Martin is out to change culture

YOU can blame Russell Martin for a lot of things at Rangers right now.

In fact, the list is growing with each pitiful Premiership performance.

But there's one thing you can't pin on the under-fire Ibrox gaffer.

And that's the behaviour of Hamza Igamane on Sunday.

Only the Moroccan himself really knows if he was injured and incapable of coming off the bench against St Mirren.

But there was no sign of any issues when he did the halftime warm-up. That's apart from his attitude, of course.

During the first half, when Rangers' subs were ordered to go behind the goal for a loosener, Findlay Curtis, Connor Barron and Mikey Moore ran round.

Igamane walked. Sauntered might be a better word.

Clearly in a huff at not starting, he was probably thinking about life in Lille instead of Paisley.

Given the grey skies at the SMISA, you could just about forgive that. But when he refused his manager's request to go on and help his side after an hour, Igamane crossed a line.

You could only imagine how legendary Gers boss Walter Smith would have reacted.

At full-time, the striker would have been pinned up against the dressing-room wall.

And he would never kick another ball for Rangers.

That's not to mention how a teammate such as Richard Gough, Ally McCoist or Barry Ferguson would have dealt with him.
