Connor Goldson may have got the headlines after his two goal display that won the Old Firm derby on Saturday but it has been another of Steven Gerrard’s stars that has been attracting the plaudits.
Both Brian Laudrup and Alan Hutton amongst others have been vocal in their praise of Glen Kamara after the Finland international put in a stunning display in both defence and attack, demonstrating perfectly what he is capable of on the big occasion.
In the build up to tonight’s clash with Standard Liege, Gerrard,as reportd by The Scotsman was asked if there was any news on a new contract for the 23-year old with interest only likely to intensify given the midfielder’s outstanding start to the season:
“I don’t know is the answer to your question. If it was my decision the answer would be yes.
“I’ve made my feelings known to Ross (Wilson, sporting director) and the board on that situation.
“Glen has been fantastic for me since day one. He’s grown and he’s evolved. He’s improved and he’s listened. There were different areas of his game that we felt we could shape and help him become a better player.
“But he is the one who has really gone out and worked on his game both in and out of possession. He’s in a fantastic place and is playing with confidence.
Is Kamara one of the first names on the team-sheet just now?
Yes
No
