Rangers coach Michael Beale has lavished praise on PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year Award winner Ryan Kent.
The on-loan Liverpool winger, who only turned 22 this season, has been on sparkling form in the league.
Despite only getting six goals and nine assists in 40 appearances, this doesn’t tell the full story of the tricky winger’s influence in Rangers matches this campaign.
And current coach at Rangers and former coach at Liverpool Michael Beale praised the youngster for his achievements this season. Both on and off the pitch.

Ryan Kent is due to return to Liverpool come the summer but has opened up about the “possibility” of staying at Ibrox.
The winger has also said that he wants to “kickstart his career” and that he is frustrated with continuous loan moves [originally Daily Record]. Rangers have made no bones about their desire to keep the player at the club.
There’s a strong case for Kent moving to Ibrox to continue his development too. The Oldham born youngster is clearly enjoying his football in Scotland and has clearly developed as a player.

Steven Gerrard urged him to go where he “will be happy” come the summer. If he’s being played, picking up awards and enjoying the adulation of supporters, there’s no reason why that can’t be Ibrox.
Unless of course, Liverpool are holding out for the reported £12m some clubs are willing to pay for him.
