Reports suggest Glen Kamara’s move to Rangers is close to being finalised.

It ensured he would become a Ger at the end of the season, when his current contract at Dundee expires.
However, since then, rumours have suggested that he could make the switch earlier.
Both his manager,
Jim McIntyre, and his club captain, Kenny Miller, are in favour of the deal going through early.
Initially, it was assumed that Dundee wanted money for Kamara, while they could still get it. Money that would be immediately reinvested in their attempts to avoid relegation.

Yet, it’s now clear that a swap deal is the preferred option.

Now, though, it looks like a deal is close.

According to a report in the Evening Times, Kamara will miss Dundee’s Cup fixture against Queen of the South, today.
That’s a precaution to ensure he doesn’t become cup tied ahead of the move.
The report also claims Rangers would have performed a similar courtesy, had their match against Cowdenbeath went ahead last night.

Based on Steven Gerrard’s press conference, Jordan Rossiter could be the most likely man to go the other way.

This one has dragged out for some time, but with the SPL returning next week, it looks as though both clubs are keen to finally get a swap deal over the line.
