Rangers beat Kilmarnock 5-0 at Ibrox on Wednesday night.

Ryan Jack of Rangers looks on during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Celtic at Ibrox Stadium on December 29, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack has told the club’s official website that he really enjoyed playing alongside Glen Kamara last night.

The Gers were back at Ibrox just days after a disappointing goalless draw with St Johnstone, with a Scottish Cup replay against Kilmarnock facing Steven Gerrard’s men.

It proved to be a fairly stress-free night for Rangers, with Alfredo Morelos opening the scoring before Killie goalkeeper Daniel Bachmann was sent off on 25 minutes.

Morelos added a second before half time and then completed his hat-trick, with Andy Halliday making it 4-0 and Morelos adding his fourth of the game to make it 5-0 late on.

Whilst Morelos is stealing the headlines with his four-goal wonder show, praise must be given to other Rangers players – particularly midfielder Kamara.

The Finn, 23, initially penned a pre-contract agreement with Rangers early in January, but his move from Dundee was brought forward on deadline day, allowing him to head to Ibrox early.

After starting on Saturday, Kamara was given a key role again on Wednesday night and dominated the midfield, even bullying Killie’s Celtic loanee Youssouf Mulumbu in an outstanding display.

After the final whistle, fellow midfielder Jack hailed Kamara’s performance, suggesting that he was ‘really good’ all-round but especially in terms of keeping the ball, and hopes there’s more to come from them both in midfield together.

“Yeah it was good,” said Jack. “Obviously I’ve trained with him a couple of times, and Glen’s a good footballer. I thought he was really good tonight and I really enjoyed playing alongside him. He’s good at keeping the ball, I really enjoyed it and hopefully there’s more of that to come,” he added.
