Dundee held Celtic to a goalless Scottish Premiership draw at Parkhead on Wednesday and Glen Kamara was the star of the show.

If Stuart Armstrong has a market value of £7 million, how much is Dundee powerhouse Glen Kamara worth on last night’s evidence?

The 22-year-old former Arsenal youngster was arguably the best player on the Parkhead pitch on Wednesday night as relegation threatened Dundee held runaway leaders Celtic to a brilliant goalless draw.

It was almost the perfect midfield performance from Kamara. Not only did he keep Armstrong on the periphery throughout, he showed the all-round ability that has some Dundee fans proclaiming him the most underrated player in Scotland.

Strong in the tackle and excellent on the ball, it is surely about time that Kamara got the credit his performances deserve.

But with Celtic in the market for an all-action central midfielder this summer, as links with John McGinn and Youssouf Mulumbu seem to confirm, Hoops manager Brendan Rodgers should have made a mental note of Dundee’s three-time Finland international.

The Scottish Sun claimed that Celtic are keen to sign 31-year-old Mulumbu when his contract at Kilmarnock expires.

But Kamara is nine years younger than the former West Brom man and, if Wednesday night’s evidence is anything to go by, could immediately enhance a Celtic midfield that has grown a little stale of late.
