He didn’t want to answer the question. But the smile on Kemar Roofe’s face gave the game away. Despite Michael Beale splashing out more than £10million on Danilo, Cyriel Dessers and Sam Lammers, does Roofe regard himself as the club’s most deadly finisher? “No comment,” he says, beaming from ear to ear.
It’s clear that he believes he is. And he’s aiming to prove it against Celtic at Ibrox. After everything Roofe has been through in terms of injuries, it’s just good to see him happy again.
Last season was a write-off and his Rangers career looked to be in serious jeopardy. But the 30-year-old is back fit and firing again.
According to his gaffer, no one else in the squad could have scored the comeback goal Roofe got at Ross County last week. And with the new recruits still finding their feet, there’s certainly an argument to say he’s Beale’s best bet up front.
