Rangers thrashed Hamilton Academical this afternoon.

Rangers manager Steven Gerrard looks on during the Scottish Cup 5th Round Replay between Rangers and Kilmarnock at Ibrox Stadium on February 20, 2019 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told The Scottish Sun that he thought midfielder Glen Kamara was like a Rolls Royce against Hamilton Academical today.

After thrashing Kilmarnock in midweek, Rangers were back in action again today, travelling to New Douglas Park to take on Hamilton.

The Gers were in blistering form in the first half, as Ryan Jack and Jermain Defoe scored in quick succession to make it 2-0, before Scott Arfield hammered home a third.

James Tavernier added a fourth from the penalty spot before the break, and substitute Kyle Lafferty wrapped up a 5-0 win in the second half.

With 10 goals in scored in the last two games, Rangers are flourishing in attack, but it’s midfielder Kamara being hailed by many.

The 23-year-old Finn was set to join for free at the end of the season, but Rangers paid a nominal fee to sign him immediately on deadline day last month – and that move is paying off.

Kamara was superb against Kilmarnock in midweek, dominating Celtic loanee Youssouf Mulumbu, and he was outstanding against Hamilton too.

After the game, Gerrard called Kamara a ‘Rolls Royce’ whilst also branding him a ‘lovely footballer’, adding that he’s impressed with the relationship he’s building in midfield with Jack.

“Kamara has settled in so well. He is a lovely footballer and looked like a Rolls Royce out there at times,” said Gerrard. “We knew he was a good player and we were delighted to get him early. He is building a good relationship in there with Ryan Jack,” he added.
