This summer’s £1.8million signing from FAR Rabat has taken time settling into life at Ibrox but he's on it now
Red-hot Hamza Igamane might still be getting to grips with the local lingo in Glasgow but Rangers strike partner Danilo reckons the young Moroccan’s potential speaks for itself.
But it was a display that proved Clement wasn’t spouting hot air with his insistence that Igamane was the real deal, with the frontman at the heart of everything positive Rangers created. The Light Blues ran riot as they put six goals past Derek McInnes’ ragged Rugby Park side and Danilo was delighted to see his new sidekick express himself so clearly.
Danilo went through a similar transition when he left his hometown of Sao Paulo to join Dutch giants Ajax aged just 18. He said: "I've been through that as well. When I came for the first time to Europe, I couldn’t speak English. I was trying to speak Spanish with people that just didn't even know Spanish! But obviously it comes from yourself. It’s about how much you're willing to learn the language, how much you’re willing to put yourselves there to speak with others.
Time, though, is something Danilo can no longer afford to waste after a year of injury frustration. He had hoped to return from the devastating knee ligament rupture he suffered at Tynecastle this time last term as Gers kicked off the new campaign. But it proved to be a false start and he was forced back under the knife for a tidy-up procedure.
Rangers were finally on song after a campaign where their frontmen have repeatedly hit bum notes. And Danilo was delighted to hear the fans belting out his name to the tune of Oasis hit She’s Electric.
