Rangers are hoping to finalise a deal to bring Glen Kamara to Ibrox.

Rangers Manager, Steven Gerrard looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premier League between Celtic and at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

According to the Daily Star, Rangers boss Steven Gerrard wants to get Dundee midfielder Glen Kamara in before the weekend as talks continue.

The Gers have signed Kamara to a pre-contract agreement, meaning that he will head to Ibrox on a free transfer when his Dundee deal expires at the end of the season.

However, Dundee are keen to let Kamara go to Ibrox early, and talks have been taking place about a potential deal in recent days.

Dundee had wanted a loan swap for Ross McCrorie or Ryan Hardie, but that won’t be happening – and Rangers are hoping to secure an agreement soon.

The Daily Star claim that Gerrard wants to get Kamara on board by the weekend, giving him time to gear up for a potential Rangers debut against Kilmarnock next Wednesday.

Rangers take on Cowdenbeath in the Scottish Cup on Friday, and whilst Rangers aren’t aiming to have him on board for that game, they are at least pushing to get him in by weekend.

Kamara, 23, has impressed for Dundee since a 2017 move from Arsenal, and has even picked up seven caps and a goal for Finland at international level.

The midfielder would be another boost to Rangers’ hopes of winning the Scottish Premiership title, potentially joining new signing Steven Davis in Gerrard’s midfield.
