Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE Rangers rebuild is about to get underway and fans are desperate to see two familiar faces back at the club. Kevin Thomson, who re-joined the Gers back in February as a coach, shared a snap of his two boys and former Rangers duo Calvin Bassey and Glen Kamara whilst on holiday.

Bassey made 65 appearances for Rangers before joining Ajax in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth around £20million. The 25-year-old had a season at the Eredivisie club before switching to Premier League side Fulham, where he has become a regular starter under Marco Silva. Glen Kamara played nearly 200 times for Rangers and then signed for Leeds United, but departed Elland Road after a season as the club missed out on promotion to the Premier League. He joined French club Rennes last summer in a multi-million pound deal, but six months later was told he was surplus to requirements. The 29-year-old was sent out to Al-Shabab on loan and made 13 appearances for the Saudi Arabian side, who now have an option to buy him permanently. 4 Calvin Bassey and Glen Kamara pose with Kevin Thomson's sons Credit: Kevin Thomson on X It is highly unlikely the Nigeria and Finland internationals would return to Ibrox anytime soon, but it has not stopped fans asking the question. One fan said in response to the post: "Up the road." Another added: "How good was big Calvin, convinced the big man has three lungs." A third commented: "Bring them home." A fourth said: "Ask the boys if they're coming up the road."

Rennes' Glen Kamara joins Al-Shabab on loan
Rennes midfielder Glen Kamara (29) has left Les Rouge et Noir to sign for Saudi Arabia side Al-Shabab on loan, both clubs have announced. The former Leeds midfielder only joined the Brittany Ligue 1 club last summer but – like Albert Grønbæk, Henrik Meister and Jota – he has decided to leave only six months after his arrival. The Finland international only featured 13 times this season. Kamara was notably axed from then-Rennes head coach Jorge Sampaoli's training squad after an embarrassing Coupe de France exit against Troyes. بأخر دقيقة نعلن رابع صفقاتنا 🔥واعذرونا على المونتاج 💸😅 — نادي الشباب السعودي (@AlShababSaudiFC) January 31, 2025 Kamara will spend the remainder of the 2024-2025 on loan to Saudi Pro League Riyad-based side Al-Shabab. Kamara's loan move includes an option to make his move permanent. Southampton, Ipswich Town and Middlesbrough reportedly offered Kamara a way back into English football. With Kamara and Baptiste Santamaria all departed on loan, Rennes are expected to step up their pursuit of a midfielder with Hellas Verona's Reda Belahyane a reported target for the Bretons.
