Craigan made to look foolish after Kamara makes Rangers debut

Just over two weeks ago, on deadline day, Glen Kamara joined Rangers from Dundee.
In a debate on BT Sport after the televised fixture between Kilmarnock and Hearts just a day later, Stephen Craigan made a bizarre comment.

“I think what Kamara will do between now and the end of the season is get up to speed, see what the standard is like, what capabilities he has, what it’s like to play at Ibrox”, said Craigan on BT Sport.
Then, when asked if he would feature for Rangers, he replied: “No, he won’t. Not between now and the end of the season, I wouldn’t have thought.”

We flagged that comment up as ridiculous at the time.
No way would Rangers rush through a last minute deal and pay a transfer fee, if they didn’t intend on involving the player before the end of the season.

Steven Gerrard did make it clear in a press conference that the midfielder would not be fit enough to be considered for selection immediately.
Yet, it was clear that the Finnish international would be in the manager’s thoughts for the run in.
Yesterday, he revealed just how highly he thinks of the 23-year-old.
He started in midfield against St Johnstone.

There’s Craigan claiming he wouldn’t feature at all until 2019-20. But, in actual fact, he gets the nod only two weeks after arriving.
It proved just how misinformed his comments really were.
