A former Rangers manager has sparked controversy by suggesting that one of the club’s current stars would be “sensational” at Celtic. The comments, made by ex-Gers boss Mark Warburton, have been met with surprise and anger from Rangers fans, who are already sensitive about the intense rivalry between the two Glasgow clubs.
Warburton, who managed Rangers from 2015 to 2017, was speaking about the qualities of Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara. The Finnish international has been in impressive form for Rangers this season, and Warburton believes he has the talent and temperament to succeed at the highest level – including at Celtic.
“Glen Kamara would be sensational at Celtic,” Warburton said. “He’s a top player, and I think he would thrive in any environment. He’s got the quality, the vision, and the work rate to be a top player in Scotland.”
Warburton’s comments are likely to be seen as provocative by Rangers fans, who are fiercely loyal to their club and view Celtic as bitter rivals. The two clubs have a long and complex history, with their rivalry often spilling over into controversy and tension.
However, Warburton’s comments are also a testament to Kamara’s quality as a player. The 26-year-old has been one of Rangers’ standout performers this season, and his form has earned him widespread praise.
Kamara has also been linked with a move away from Rangers, with several clubs in the English Premier League reportedly interested in signing him. However, Warburton’s comments suggest that he believes Kamara would be better off staying in Scotland – and specifically, at Celtic.
It’s worth noting that Warburton’s comments are unlikely to have any bearing on Kamara’s future at Rangers. The player has consistently stated his commitment to the club, and Rangers are likely to do everything in their power to keep him at Ibrox.
