Rangers are in a rich vein of form as the Scottish Premiership season is now edging to a close.

Glen Kamara of Rangers is tackled by Scott Brown of Celtic during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on May 12, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Andy Walker has praised Glen Kamara for the part he played in Rangers second goal during their 2-0 win over Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.

The Sky Sports pundit waxed-lyrical about how ‘skilful’ Kamara was as he got away from Scott Brown and the ‘quick feet’ he showed to play a through ball to goalscorer Scott Arfield.

Just like the rest of the Gers midfield, Kamara was one, if not the best player on the park as his team recorded back-to-back wins on home soil against their bitter rivals.

Speaking during his commentary stint on Sky Sports Football (12/05/2019), Walker made it clear as to who should deserve credit for Rangers’ second goal of the game.

“Credit to Arfield for the finish,” Walker told Sky Sports Football. “But look at the part, Glen Kamara plays. So creative in the middle of the park. So skilful. His feet are so quick.

“Kamra gets away from Brown. He plays the pass in. He plays the ball into Jermain Defoe and there’s the imagination required [to let it roll to an on-rushing Arfield]. Great stuff from Kamara and the finish [from Arfield].”

Former Arsenal man Kamara signed a permanent contract with Rangers in January after he made the switch from fellow Premiership side Dundee.

He has impressed since moving to the club and he has been a regular for Steven Gerrard in the middle of the park, who will be pushing for trophies next season.

Someone like Kamara could play a big part in the Light Blues success because if he can get it going then it bodes well for the rest of the team.
