The incredible Glen Kamara Rangers accuracy that shows pivotal role in Europa League draw

Alfredo Morelos, Borna Barisic , Steven Davis - many of the Ibrox club's players have been receiving significant praise for their roles in outplaying last season's Champions League quarter finalists Porto for long spells last night.

Rangers drew the game 1-1 after a Luis Diaz goal was clawed back by Alfredo Morelos but were arguably the better team over the 90 minutes.

If the Ibrox men's performance was marked by an unusual level of composure and comfort on the ball, then few stood out more than Glen Kamara .

The Finnish international burst onto the scene after a £50k move from Dundee in January after a series of top performances but this season he has struggled to show the same level of form.

That wasn't the case last night and he produced a sensational level of passing accuracy throughout the game.

Of 53 passes made, 52 found their intended target - an accuracy rate of 98%.

The graph above, from stats website Wyscout, shows that he scored 22 out of 22 in the first half and 30 out of 31 in the second.

Impressively, he wasn't just knocking the ball square either, as his average pass length was 15.83 meters for the game.

Steven Gerrard will hope to see a continuation of this form as his side aim to mount a sustained championship challenge.
