Turkish giants 'set to offer' Glen Kamara escape route out of Rangers

Besiktas are set to offer forgotten Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara an escape route out of Ibrox...but only on loan.

The Finnish international midfielder seems certain to leave Rangers this summer after falling out of manager Michael Beale's plans.

Kamara even lost his starting slot in the Finland team for their Euro 2024 qualifier against Slovenia after manager Markku Kanerva explained he couldn't start him because of his lack of game time with Rangers.

Since Kamara was included in the Rangers line-up for the League Cup Final defeat to Celtic in February, the former Arsenal and Dundee player started just one league game -  a dead rubber 2-2 draw with Hearts at the end of the season.

Now reports in Turkey have indicated that Besiktas will make an approach to sign the 27-year-old on loan, rather than make a bid for Kamara.

Besiktas finished third last season and want to make a push for the title, which they last won two years ago,

And manager Senol Gunes wants to see if Rangers can be persuaded to allow Kamara on loan, with the player still having two years left of his Rangers contract.

Meanwhile, Aaron Ramsey is in talks with Cardiff over a potential return to his boyhood club. 

The Sun reports that the former Rangers player could be set to go back to where it all began for the Welshman.

The 32-year-old is a free agent having turned down the opportunity to stay on at Ligue 1 side Nice.

The ex-Arsenal midfielder joined the French outfit after a short loan spell at Ibrox last year.
