Manager Michael Beale has been speaking to the media before Rangers' trip to face Ross County this weekend.

Here are the main points from the media conference:

• Glen Kamara - heavily linked with Leeds - is close to leaving and Beale "wasn't in the mood to persuade anyone to play for Rangers" after an honest conversation when he returned to the club as manager.

• The squad is "very loaded" in the positions Ianis Hagi plays, with the Romania international struggling for game-time this season.

• Beale welcomed a return to the squad for Tom Lawrence and Kemar Roofe who he sees as "in my thoughts as starters, not back-up players".

• Rangers have experienced "probably every emotion" since the start of the season but are in a "positive place" going into a "big week" for the club.

• The league is of "paramount importance because of the away defeat to Kilmarnock on the first weekend" and they are keen to make up for that on Saturday.
