Greg Stewart can’t believe that his old club have allowed Glen Kamara’s value to fall through the floor.
A couple of years ago Steven Gerrard was responding to questions about interest from Juventus but with the new season about to start the former Dundee star is training solo as Micky Beale tries to force Kamara’s exit.
Without any pre-season matches or even training with team-mates it is unlikely that any worthwhile fee will be paid for the midfielder with loan options likely to come in towards the end of the transfer window.
Beale is usually portrayed as a wizard of the training ground with his imaginative use of bibs and cones but when it comes to man-management he seems to have come up well short.
Stewart told the Daily Record:
It’s never nice to hear that players are training on their own. It sounds like he’s had a chat with the manager and decided the best decision is for Glen to go and now it’s about finding a club willing to pay what Rangers want.
It’s a strange one for me though as I know Glen and what he can do on the pitch. During my time at the club, he was central to everything we did. I thought he could easily have moved to the Premier League or a big European league at that time. I thought clubs would be queuing up for him. That’s the quality he had.
He’s shown how good he is on the international stage with Finland, bossing games at the Euros. I still think he can do that now. These things happen, you go through wee blips in football. Maybe he just needs a change of scenery to get back to his best because there is a top player in there. That’s undeniable.
Unfortunately for Rangers, they’re going to get nowhere near the level of cash they would have two years ago, which will be a frustration business wise.
So far Beale has only managed to sell Antonio Colak with a net increase in squad numbers from last season.
Scott Wright has returned to Ibrox after spending one day in Turkey for talks with Pendikspor while there has been no movement on Borna Barisic, John Lundstram or Kemar Roofe who are all in the final year of their contracts.

So, in addition to Kent and Morales, sevco could be losing another ex-first team player
in Kamara, for buttons / free?
And they say a player peaks, on average, between the ages of 27-29 years old.
All the above 3 are only 27 – just hitting their peak years.
Yet, Beale couldn’t use his coaching prowess to help these 3 re-discover the
form they had shown in the recent past.
Don’t think Beale can be regarded as a good coach at all,
but he certainly talks a good game! 🙂
The daily sevco with their LIES in print every day about the value of sevco players are worse than big DONALD with his FAKE NEWS and mad Boris lying through his teeth.
That boy Newports phone must be rammed full of ex huns
Pay £5m or wait 4 months and sign him for free on a pre……..

Couldn’t see eye to eye I hear
‘Eyed’ by Juventus. Crap writing, fictional invention.
Kamara to Dundee – £50k.
