The Rangers career of Glen Kamara has been a bi-polar one, of the highest highs but also some desperate lows.
The 27-year old Finland international has frustrated more than he has impressed the Light Blues faithful of late but this shouldn’t detract from how valuable a player he could be for the right club.
With interest from England and Turkey now being reported, Rangers should still be looking to make as much money as possible for Glen Kamara to aid the summer rebuild.
A little over 18-months ago, Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 sides were all said to be keeping an eye on Kamara.
One valuation at the time had the versatile midfielder as being worth as much as £20m to Rangers at his peak.
Fresh off an outstanding series of performances for his country in the European Championships, for Rangers, Glen Kamara was one of our most consistent Europa League players too.
He seemed to save his best when faced with stiffer opposition.
Against Celtic though, he has gone from being metronomic to anonymous, a disaster at Parkhead under Giovanni van Bronckhorst saw him unceremoniously dropped for John Lundstram.
Injuries saw him fill in at number ten in a surprise new role and, in Europe, he was a key factor in Rangers getting to Seville.
Form is temporary, class is permanent and all that.
This is what Rangers need to be selling.
Rangers need to set Glen Kamara price tag on ability not form
The Euros, his continental performances, even this season against PSV Eindhoven he was outstanding in the Champions League qualifiers.
It’s just a shame we didn’t see it more often this season.
Signed for £50,000 by Rangers, Glen Kamara is still a player that should be valued at the £8-10m mark that was being mooted last summer.
This is what Celtic get right and we have failed at in the past.
Even their fringe or out of favour players still make them decent money.
One poor season, where the team as a whole has been sub-standard, should not see one of our most technically gifted players written off as worthless.
If Ross McCrorie is a £3m player, one that has been pivotal in getting to a European final and is his country’s main man is worth, at least, double.
Factor in the clubs that are said to be interested, how deep their pockets are, and anything lower is negligence.
