Could Dorrans setback tempt Rangers into Glen Kamara bid?

Glasgow Rangers midfielder Graham Dorrans has suffered another setback in his Ibrox career.

It was reported by the Daily Mail earlier this month that Rangers had been amongst the group of sides that have had a look at midfielder Glen Kamara in recent months as he continues to impress in the Scottish Premiership.

Kamara is out of contract at Dundee at the end of the season, so it would hardly be a surprise if he ends up having a list of clubs chasing his signature over the coming months.

It is not clear whether Rangers still hold an interest in the Finland international. But given the recent news concerning one Ibrox star, it seems highly likely that a January bid for Kamara could be something that Steven Gerrard considers.

As reported by BBC Sport, Graham Dorrans faces several months on the sidelines as he requires knee surgery. It is the latest setback in what has unquestionably been a torrid spell for the former Premier League ace – who cost an initial fee of £750,000, according to the Daily Record.

Gerrard could have every intention of giving Dorrans another chance to prove himself when he does return, but it is a very alarming situation especially as the 31-year-old does not have the same amount of time left in his career as someone like Jordan Rossiter, whose problems have been just as well documented.

Signing someone like Kamara in January could be a very good way for Rangers to add additional depth in the middle of the park to cover for Dorrans’ absence.

He knows the league well – and can clearly make an impact in the division – and should not cost too much given that his contract is edging towards its final months.
