Sometimes we forget that there’s a person behind every player. I’ve been guilty of that myself since I retired and started working in the media. But it can be unfair and I think that’s been the case with Glen Kamara at Rangers recently.
I should know better, considering I was a team-mate of his for six months at Dundee back in 2018. Incredibly, he actually went through a spell at Dens when he wasn’t getting a game. When I look back, it was because there was so much speculation surrounding him. We ended up getting relegated that season.
But I’ve learned that things like that affect people in different ways. Players are just human beings, remember. Glen has become a bit of a forgotten man at Ibrox. But this is a guy who was absolutely integral to the success they had in winning a league title. He was a mainstay. A rock in their midfield alongside Ryan Jack and John Lundstram. This season, for some reason, he seems to have fallen out of favour. From the outside, it appeared he’d become a little disheartened by not getting enough game time. That led to talk about a move away from Rangers in August.
