His future looks certain to be away from Ibrox this summer as Philippe Clement looks to sell before he can buy
Sam Lammers has earned rave reviews despite drawing a blank for the Rangers B team vs Leeds United as his wait to exit Ibrox goes on.
The top team spent time in Lammers' homeland at a pre-season training camp and took in two games including an outing with Dutch giants Ajax but he was posted missing from the trip and instead involved in a bounce game with a host of youngsters. Michael Beale shelled out a substantial fee last summer to land the attacker from Atalanta but he never ever hit the ground running in Glasgow and was shipped out in January by Philippe Clement to Eredivisie outfit Utrecht.
Clement has already stated he must sell in order to fund his summer spree and Lammers is one of those who will be available at the right price. His signing has proved an abject fail with his future destined to be away from Govan come close of the transfer window. The forward played 45 minutes as Leeds' Under-21 side ran out winners at the Rangers Training Centre
Asked about the benefits of the likes of Lammers appearing for the B team, Malky Thomson told RTV: "It's great and I think credit to the players. The older players coming in. Robbie Fraser, Sam Lammers and the other ones that played. There is a real good feel about the group when they come together. We don't have the privilege of regular training together so when it comes to a match day we get some players from the first-team, we have some younger ones and a core group ourselves.
Asked what the experienced players bring which is so beneficial to the young group, he added: "It is hard to explain what it is. It is everything from sitting at the pre-match meal and talking to them and understanding what they do, the warm-up. Myself and David do a team talk with the rest of the coaches. But it is that in the moment getting ready for the game and the experience they pass on to the younger ones.
