Glen Kamara hailed by James McFadden for response to Rangers set back
Glen Kamara was singled out for praise on his response to being dropped after the Celtic defeat, scoring the Rangers third against Hearts.
The Fin was part of a triple substitution at Parkhead on Wednesday as Gers wilted, but came on at Ibrox on Sunday to score a great goal and provide the reaction his manager will have wanted.
The midfielder was played through the middle by Alfredo Morelos to wrong foot the Hearts defence and put the game beyond doubt on the 72nd minute, as the flood gates opened for the Light Blues.
Former Scotland forward James McFadden was highly impressed, saying on the Sky Sports match broadcast: “He’s onside there’s no doubt about it. Looks like he can square it, he’s going to hit it with his left.
“No. Chops inside, cool as you like, slots it by Craig Gordon.
“It’s a brilliant finish from Glen Kamara and a great response to being hooked off at half time against Celtic.
“To not start the game today, fantastic for Rangers, real composed finish from Glen Kamara.”
Back on track
It was vital for Gers to get the points and show some sort of response to the hammering they received at Celtic Park on Wednesday.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst had yet to taste defeat as Ibrox manager but that went out the window in spectacular fashion.
But his side had dropped four other points on the way to giving up top spot in the league.
The new league-leaders had already consolidated their position with a 4-0 win over Motherwell on Sunday so a response was needed.
It eventually arrived in style after Morelos had made it eight in eight against Hearts with his opener in the first half.
The Colombian added a second mid-way through the second half before laying on the third.
Ultimately the home side ran away with it and were thankful for the return of their main man up front, as the rest of the side followed his lead and ran out comfortable winners.
