Glen Kamara in frank Rangers future admission as midfielder 'not surprised' with Michael Beale's exit comments

Glen Kamara has dropped a huge hint that he won't be staying at Rangers any longer - admitting he isn't surprised by Michael Beale's exit comments surrounding his future.

The midfielder, who joined from Dundee in the Steven Gerrard era for just £100,000, became a trusted member of the Light Blues side that went unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership, won a Scottish Cup and reached a Europa League final.

But with Michael Beale's arrival as boss, Kamara's gametime began to dwindle wit the signings of Todd Cantwell and Nicolas Raskin while the introduction of Kieran Dowell this summer could further limit his involvement. Having slipped further down the pecking order at Ibrox, Kamara is likely to find game time hard to come by next seaso, though reports suggesting Rangers will listen to offers of £5m for his services indicate they are not especially keen to sell.

Beale's comments earlier in pre-season appeared to give Kamara an ultimatum to knuckle down or seek pastures new, and Kamara has dropped a hint by admitting he 'isn't surprised by Beale's comments', alongside reflecting on his Rangers career as though he had already left.

The Finnish international said: “I’ve been on holiday mode so I’ve taken my mind off football. We had conversations a couple of months ago so I’m not surprised with those comments. I feel like I know where I’m at in my head and he knows it too. I’m not going to say anything, time will tell I guess.

“Can you assume I’m seriously considering a move? No comment. How do I reflect on my time there? It’s been amazing. Four-and-a-half years I'll have spent there come this summer.

“To join such a massive club and have all the support I did, the fans are amazing and depending on where you go next you might never see that again.

“They are crazy in a good way. The club’s stature is massive - having a Europa League run, winning the league, going unbeaten, winning a cup. I had some good times there. We could definitely have done better because with the teams we had we just came up short a few times. But I had a really good time, I won trophies there and did things I’d never done in my career before.”
