Michael Beale has revealed that Glen Kamara is training on his own at Rangers.
And the boss was fully transparent about the reasons for this.
The Finland international, who looks set to be leaving Ibrox this summer, has been suffering from illness in recent times.
So, in order to get himself back up to speed before returning to the first-team group, the midfielder is training alone.
Rangers hope to raise £5million from the sale of Kamara before the window shuts.
“There’s no update on Glen," Beale explained. "He was obviously given an extended break at the end of the season due to internationals then he’s had a sickness problem which has run on.
“He’s training in isolation at the moment, not with the group, trying to get himself up to speed.
“There’s a lot in the background with Glen as well with different enquiries and him talking to different people.
“So it’s best that he’s to the side of the group. I’ve got no issues with him on a personal level, it’s a conversation we had a good few months ago."
Another player who has been heavily linked with a move away from Ibrox is Fashion Sakala.
There is reported interest from Saudi Arabia in the Zambian forward.
Beale is quite sure that there will be some players to depart the club prior to the end of the window, with others due to arrive too. But the boss also had no update on Sakala.
He said: "There’s nothing on Fashion at the moment. There’s a bit of noise around a few of the players and that’s natural because of how many we’ve brought in. As soon as there’s something to say on that we will.
“When you bring nine players in and two in January, that’s 11 into the squad.
“Quite a few have left, around eight to 10. But I need to have time now to bring this team together.
“Is it going to be perfect straight away? No. You can see there’s going to be teething problems.
“But you can see we’ve got good players. And as long as they all get in line and in tune quickly, we’ll be OK.
“Naturally with that process, one or two will be a little bit uneasy. One or two might bite down on the gum shield and fight.
“The window shuts on September 1 but we’ve got eight or nine games before then.
“So it will be a long month. I’m sure one or two will leave and maybe one or two more will arrive."
