Kamara loves life with Dundee... just don’t mention the weather

Dundee midfielder Glen Kamara admits that while he has fully adjusted to Scottish football, the weather in this country is a totally different matter.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been a big success story since he joined the Dark Blues last summer and his performances for Neil McCann’s side have led to international recognition from Finland.

Kamara was called up to a training camp for his country in the United Arab Emirates during the Premiership’s winter break.

He really enjoyed the experience – even if he then had to reacclimatise when he landed back in Scotland.

Kamara said: “We are more than halfway through the season, so I would say I have adjusted well to Scottish football now.

“It has been good just to play every week and I am really enjoying it. It is harder work than what I was used to but I am happy to do it.

“Hopefully I can add some goals to my game. I would definitely like to get up the pitch a bit more.

“Playing every week has also helped me get into the international squad. I was away in Abu Dhabi and it was a big shock coming back here – it was so cold.

“It is a long time since I lived in Finland and I have probably gone a bit soft! But it was nice to be away being able to train in the sunshine.”

Kamara will be at Rugby Park tonight in a Dundee squad looking to halt a run of successive defeats to Ross County and Motherwell.

He added: “We will try to put things right against Kilmarnock.

“Saturday was a big disappointment. There wasn’t much in it and if we had taken our chances we could have won it.

“Hopefully we can push on now.”
