Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have a gem in Glen Kamara.
Speaking to BBC Sport, Neil McCann has urged Rangers boss Steven Gerrard to stick with Glen Kamara in midfield, insisting that he’s better than Ross McCrorie.
The 23-year-old moved to Rangers in January, after originally signing a pre-contract agreement to join at the end of the season.
Kamara, managed by McCann at Dundee, impressed in the Gers’ 5-0 drubbing of Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup on Wednesday night.
The former Arsenal youth looked brilliant alongside Ryan Jack in Gerrard’s midfield, having earned the nod ahead of McCrorie.
And McCann believes that Kamara will be a mainstay in the 37-year-old’s first XI going forward.
“Glen Kamara excels sitting in front of the back-four. He takes the ball anywhere. He’s so brave and so quick,” he told BBC Sport.
“Ross McCrorie is more of a destroyer; Glen is a better footballer. Once he finds a place in this team and deals with the expectation levels, they won’t remove him from the side. I don’t think Rangers have a player like him.”
Kamara would and probably will prove to be an absolute steal by Gerrard who, according to The Evening Telegraph, paid only £50,000 to sign him in January instead of this summer.
It’s peanuts, even in Scotland, and if Kamara turns out to be half as good as McCann believes he is then Rangers have struck a serious bargain.
