Rangers have sold Glen Kamara to Leeds United for around £5million.

The midfielder has been linked with a move all summer after it was clear he was not in manager Michael Beale's plans.

The 27-year-old was signed from Dundee for just £50,000 by Steven Gerrard in January 2019.

He made 193 appearances for the club, scoring nine times.

He played a pivotal role in the club's 2020-21 Premiership title win and their 2022 Scottish Cup victory, as well as their run to the Europa League final.

A club statement read: "Rangers Football Club can today confirm the departure of Glen Kamara to Leeds United for an undisclosed fee.

"The midfielder, who joined the club from Dundee in January 2019, made over 190 appearances across five seasons at Ibrox.

"Lifting the league title in 2020/21, and the Scottish Cup the following year, Kamara was a big part of those successes in Light Blue, featuring 51 times in the league winning season.

"A memorable goal in the 3-1 victory over RB Leipzig in the Europa League in 2021/22 saw the Finland international help Rangers to their first European final since 2008.

"All at Rangers thank Glen for his time at the club and wish him well for his future career."

The Ibrox side have already signed nine players this summer, including two players in Kamara's position.

Michael Beale's side host Celtic at Ibrox on Sunday.
