Rangers squad is looking good for next season, new additions joining established regulars with just a few loose ends to be tied up.
One of those is Glen Kamara with the Finland international into the last two years of his contract, generally known as the peak window for selling players, and speaking on Go Radio, new Alloa Athletic manager and former Gers skipper, Barry Ferguson, believes that the speculation surrounding a link to Salih Ozcan means that Steven Gerrard is preparing for life after one of his star men:
“He has already been offered a new contract and you don’t want players to get into the final 12 months of his contract.
“So, that could be a sign that Glen Kamara is not really committed to Rangers and hence the fact that this guy has been mentioned.
“I don’t know much about him but listen is playing for Koln, which are a decent team and decent club.
“Going back on it, it seems Glen Kamara maybe will not be extending his contract and if not, you need to and cash in and bring in another midfielder.”
Two years still gives Rangers plenty of time but you would have to think that if he doesn’t sign an extension, with talks already confirmed to have happened, that he will be sold in the next 12 months.
If he has a fruitful European Championships his stock will never be higher so, although we would all be sad to see him go, for once, Fergie is right, especially when there is a player of Ozcan’s calibre available on a free transfer – buy low, develop, sell high, repeat.
