Glen Kamara and the Rangers form fear as evidence mounts that ultimate transfer gem has lost his spark

Glen Kamara was a key part of Rangers' Scottish Premiership title winning side, make no mistake of his talents.

A bargain £50,000 signing, Kamara has produced everything you could want and more of from then-Premiership side Dundee. Tidy in possession, showing potential to grow as a player and becoming a real mainstay of the Light Blues’ champions side in 2021, the Finnish international played for Rangers 55 times that season in all competitions during an impressive campaign.

However, Kamara has struggled to capture his best from this season while Rangers have lacked massively in certain parts of the season. The Champions League horror show in which they became the worst ever group stage side and an awful run of form in the autumn period which saw Rangers pick up just eight points from five games in the league.

They now trail Celtic by nine points in the league and missed out on silverware to their rivals, and during this tough spell Kamara is only showing shadows of glimpses of who he was two seasons ago. Michael Beale has admitted his is a big fan of Kamara but his form won't have gone unnoticed.

John Lundstram, Malik Tillman and Ryan Jack are performing relatively well under his guidance, adding to the frustrations that he has been faced with in his superb start to life as Rangers boss. But the stats don't lie with Kamara - and when comparing his output in 2020/21 to the current season (2022/23), it's clear to see a drop off in performance.

In general, Kamara's passing stats are quite similar when looking at the two seasons in depth. With a slight decrease in pass accuracy from 92 per cent to 91 per cent, alongside a fall-off in key passes - which have dropped from 0.35 per ninety minutes to 0.32 - it isn't the
