Glen Kamara overlooked yet again which shows why he needs Rangers exit
Glen Kamara only played in the closing stages of Finland’s 2-0 win over Slovenia on Friday evening, which underlines how much he really needs a transfer in the coming weeks, to kick-start his career.
Usually, a first-pick for his national team, the midfielder was introduced as a substitute on 81 minutes in place of Rasmus Schuller of Swedish side Djurgardens.
The victory means the Finns are sitting in a decent position with six points from three games played, in their Euro 2024 qualification group but the game conjures up another talking point around Kamara.
Thinking back to Euro 2020, he was the star of the show for the Huuhkajat, catching the eye of BBC pundit Martin Keown along the way.
For a player of his ability and at this stage of his career, he should be front and centre for club and country but unfortunately, that is not the case at present.
After a disappointing season at Ibrox and falling out of favour under Michael Beale, he will be eager for a fresh start in the new campaign and that should be at a new location.
This week, the Glasgow Times reported that there is serious interest in the midfielder from clubs in France and Italy, as well as England.
Rangers are supposed to be holding out for a £5m fee for the 27-year-old which would be a fair return for a player who has grown significantly in his time at the club.
A league title and a major European final are some of the key highlights but the way he performed consistently in Europe, including last season’s Champions League qualifiers against PSV Eindhoven, showed the level that he can operate at.
Kamara just needs the right club to kick-start his career and he can return to his best, but this latest omission on the international stage just shows how much a transfer is needed.
In other Rangers news, there is a fresh injury twist at Ibrox as this player misses out on the international stage, today.
