The Rangers question Kemar Roofe doesn't want to answer but grin tells the story as he's 'ready' to shoot down Celtic

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. The Jamaica international looks hungry again, just like he was under Steven Gerrard when playing a key role in Gers’ 55th title success. And if it’s true that he remains Rangers’ biggest threat, he says it’s not down to any of the top managers he has worked with.

Instead, he traces it back to shooting practice with dad Glenn when he was a kid. Ahead of today’s Old Firm showdown, Roofe said: “What I’d say is that I’ve put a lot of work in through the years, starting with my dad and brother down the park.

“We’d work on my shooting and finishing all the time. I’d see my friends in the park who were playing football or on their bikes. But they were having a different type of fun to me.

“I was down the park for business. Getting the work in. My friends would just be there watching us. Naturally you want to play with them rather than grinding but I have to thank my dad
