Glasgow rangers People have had a love-hate relationship with the January transfer window since its introduction in the 2002/03 season.

Over the past 20 years or so, Ibrox have made some poor mid-season decisions, bringing in players who have failed to make an impact.

Aaron Ramsey stands out. The Welshman signed a six-month loan deal from Juventus in January 2022, but he Appeared only 13 times During his time in the North End, he was famous for missing the decisive penalty in the Europa League final.

Elsewhere, names such as Fabio Silva, Jack Simpson and Dan Egan will send shivers down the spines of Ibrox fans, but it’s not all bad.

In fact, the Gers signed David Weir, Barry Ferguson, Chris Boyd and Ianis Hagi during the winter window. Players who have made effective contributions at all stages over the past 20 years.

However, in terms of value for money, surely the signing of Glen Kamara from Dundee in January 2019 was one of the best pieces of transfer business the club has ever undertaken? Especially given his stellar form during his time in Glasgow.

Glenn Kamara Rangers Statistics

Steven Gerrard has turned to the winter window to strengthen his squad ahead of the second half of the 2018/19 season. The club had just won their first win over Celtic since 2012 and confidence was certainly high.

Kamara initially signed a pre-contract agreement to join the Light Blues that summer, but for The paltry fee is only £50,000Gerrard got his man in mid-January and it turned out to be a fantastic deal indeed.

Scott Arfield summed up the movesaid: “The Glenn £50 was the biggest theft of the century.” It’s clear the manager has a great player.

Finnish midfielder Appeared 16 times In his first six months, Gerrard quickly identified the former Arsenal academy graduate as a key player for the future.

His first full season was cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but throughout the 2020/21 campaign, Kamara performed brilliantly for the Gers, helping them win their first Premier League title in a decade and even more. What’s remarkable is that they remain undefeated.

He not only Average passing rate is 91% In that season’s top flight, Kamara succeeded in 77% of his dribbling attempts and won 59% of his total duels as he demonstrated his ability to both go forward and dictate play from the center of the pitch. .

He will be best remembered for his goal against RB Leipzig in the Europa League semi-finals, giving the Gers the lead in the game, but his final season was hampered by injury.

Michael Beale was clearly not a fan of the midfielder and he was sold to Leeds United for a transfer fee in the summer of 2023. £5.5m areaThat’s a huge profit for someone who spent £50,000 four and a half years ago.

With the January transfer window in full swing, can Rangers repeat their Kamara masterclass by signing another Dundee star?

Rangers urged to sign Dundee sensation

Former Rangers midfielder Andy Halliday knows a thing or two about playing for the club; Urge Clement to take action Dundee gem Lyle Cameron.

Building a squad ahead of next season will now be seen as a priority, especially with Parkhead set to win the league title for a fourth consecutive season.

Before the recent 1-1 draw with Dundee, Clement praised Cameron said when discussing the team: “They are very good in transition, they have a lot of good players in transition. The three forwards really performed well in that area.

“Lyle Cameron is also a very good midfielder, creative midfielder, decisive in the final pass and has good solid base behind him as well.”

With Cameron’s contract set to expire this summer, tying Cameron to a pre-contract agreement would be an ideal way to start planning for next season.

Lyle Cameron’s season stats

The 22-year-old has impressed for Dens Park this season, scoring eight goals. Sent seven assists Played 27 games in all competitions.

Fifteen goals for an attacking midfielder or winger is an excellent return at this stage of the season, but Cameron has played as a central midfielder or defensive midfielder in his 21 games, which shows his quality. What a quality forward.

The Scot’s performances in the top flight have been particularly impressive. While his immediate contribution in front of goal is noteworthy, Cameron also Created four great opportunitiesAveraged 1.7 key passes per game and 0.6 successful dribbles per game.

An average of 59.7 touches per game in the Premier League shows that he is willing to be involved in as many situations as possible and not shy away from the challenges of more prominent teams.

Cameron missed the game against the Gers through injury and had he been fit it could have been a different story, especially as Dundee might have been able to pull off a win.

If a deal similar to Kamara’s can be agreed this month, it would provide a boost to the midfield while also strengthening the home quota.

Whether this is the player Clement is targeting this month remains to be seen. After bringing in young players such as Connor Barron and Hamza Igaman in the summer, he has the future in mind.

There is no doubt that Cameron should be involved.
