Neil McCann has praised Glen Kamara for delivering a ‘Rolls-Royce’ performance for Rangers at Hearts. Michael Beale’s Ibrox outfit claimed a 3-0 win at Tynecastle this Wednesday night.
Hearts hosted Rangers on the back of a 10-game unbeaten run but fell to goals from Alfredo Morelos (9’, 68’) and Malik Tillman (34’). The Gers also saw offside calls rule a further three goals out during a commanding display. Yet Beale’s team had more than enough for the win.
Beale has now won eight of his nine Premiership matches in charge of Rangers with 22 goals scored to eight conceded. He is also unbeaten after 11 fixtures across all competitions on 10 wins. The relentless nature of the Gers’ performance at Tynecastle smothered Hearts’ game.
Rangers rarely let Hearts have the room to breathe as the Glasgow giants took control of the game in Edinburgh. Kamara and John Lundstram marshalling the engine room gave the Gers the platform to build their attacking game. It was a near-perfect partnership from the pair.
Kamara has started 10 of his 15 Premiership appearances so far this season with eight of his appearances under Beale. While Lundstram has started 22 of his 24 league outings with nine under Beale. They each have one Premiership goal since the 42-year-old took over at Ibrox.
McCann praises Kamara for a ‘Rolls-Royce’ display in Rangers’ win at Hearts
Kamara impressed McCann with his display during Rangers’ win over Hearts on Wednesday. The 27-year-old stood out with his quick feet in the middle of the park after working his way out of tight spaces. He also sought to break between the lines to help knit the side together.
“There’s been a lot of good performances from Rangers tonight,” McCann said on BBC Sportsound. “Kamara has looked like a Rolls-Royce in the middle of the park. He’s been smooth in possession, as well as quick and sharp.”
Kamara has hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks and continued it as Rangers took control at Hearts. His passing game set the tone for the Gers’ display after conducting the performance in midfield with Lundstram. While his forays into advanced areas also created a few chances.
