What was supposed to be a dream move to a top club like Rangers while being managed by a legend like Steven Gerrard, turned into a nightmare for Umar Sadiq. The former Roma and Torino described his team in Scotland this way in an interview to the Sunday Post: “All of a sudden, I was told that I could not use the first-team dressing room any more. Instead, I had to go change with the kids. Then after a few days I was also forbidden to park my car inside the training centre. "I felt humiliated and kept asking what was the reason for the change of attitude but I never received any answers.
"Gerrard wouldn't give any explanation about it, neither to me nor my representatives. I believe absolutely that I was not given a fair chance to show what I can do. They made me feel like a stranger. I started only once and that was when there were no other strikers available. For me everything went wrong after they brought in another striker”
