Nice Vs Rangers, UEFA Europa League: Hamza Igamane Stars In Big Win For The Light Blues

Ruthless Rangers showcased a performance that manager Philippe Clement labelled "close to perfection," enhancing their hopes of progressing in the Europa League with a stunning victory over Nice. Despite a strong start from the Ligue 1 side, the Scottish Premiership team established an impressive three-goal lead by half-time. Vaclav Cerny opened the scoring with a deflected strike that wrong-footed Nice’s goalkeeper, Marcin Bulka. Mohamed Diomande quickly added a second with an audacious flick, capitalizing on poor defending. A third goal came before the break, as Hamza Igamane took advantage of a disastrous blind back-pass, sparking celebrations among the Rangers fans.
