Scottish Premiership powerhouses Rangers will bring Glen Kamara and Jordan Jones to Ibrox from Dundee and Kilmarnock respectively.
The January transfer window is just one week old but Rangers have been busy.
Experienced Premier League duo Steve Davis and Jermain Defoe have made eye-catching moves to Ibrox, joining on loan from Southampton and Bournemouth respectively.
And Rangers have followed up these impressive additions by landing Jordan Jones and Glen Kamara on pre-contract deals. The Scottish Premiership pair, who currently play for Kilmarnock and Dundee, will move to Glasgow when their deals expire in the summer.
But, speaking to the Daily Star, former Rangers striker Kris Boyd has revealed his concerns about the addition of 23-year-old Finland international Kamara, who has struggled for form so far in 2018/19 for the league’s bottom club.
“He was dropped a couple of weeks ago, I don’t think he’s been performing at a level – maybe in seasons gone past, especially last season – but it does come as a surprise,” Boyd said.
The Dundee fans certainly agree. Plenty of the Dens Park faithful took to Twitter to criticise Kamara’s form and attitude on Friday when news of his move to Rangers broke.
Boyd, however, was far more positive about Jones’ chances of succeeding at Ibrox. The Northern Ireland international, who played alongside Boyd at Kilmarnock, should offer pace and unpredictability to Steven Gerrard’s forward-line.
“I think Jordan, when he is performing at the level he can week in, week out, he gets people off their seats,” Boyd added.
“He is an exciting talent, he’s got bundles of talent and he can carry you up the pitch.
