Glen Kamara has started seven times since joining Glasgow Rangers from Dundee in January.

Scott Arfield has lauded the impact Glen Kamara has made at Rangers since moving to Ibrox from Dundee in January, while speaking to Rangers TV.

The Finland international had signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Gers at the end of the season when he was due to become a free agent.

But the Glasgow giants decided to push the move forward, paying Dundee £100,000 to sign Kamara immediately on the final day of the January transfer window, as reported by the Scottish Sun.

And the 23-year-old has wasted no time in establishing himself as a key player, starting seven games already under Steven Gerrard and scoring his first goal for the club in the 4-0 thrashing of Dundee in February.

Kamara’s stylish and composed approach has even helped get the best out of his fellow midfielder, the combative and hard-working Ryan Jack – something Arfield has been keen to point out.

“(Kamara is a) terrific football player. I think he sees the game very quickly, he moves the ball very quickly,” said the former Burnley ace.

“In the games that I’ve played, him and Jack complement each other so well.

“I think before Glen came Jack was more a sitter. But now, and you can see his goal tally going up, he’s all over the pitch because he knows he’s got somebody like Glen who can move the ball and pass it quicker.”

Kamara’s fine run of form came to an end on Tuesday, however. It was his misplaced pass across the pitch that gifted Aberdeen their opening goal as Derek McInnes’s side prevailed 2-0 at Ibrox in the Scottish Cup semi-final.

But one mistake should not distract from the positive impact Kamara has made in the blue shirt.
