Rangers fans have heaped praise on Ryan Kent for his stunning first goal in the win over Hamilton on Sunday afternoon.
The Gers signed Kent from Liverpool on Deadline Day for a whopping £7.5m [Sky Sports], but since then, mainly due to fitness issues, the adoring fans hadn’t seen the best of him.
However, following a two-week break, he was fully fit and ready to wreak havoc, as we had suggested he might be heading into the fixture.
In the opening stages, with the Gers already 1-0 up, he almost scored a spectacular goal, jinking past multiple Accies players before firing a shot from range off the outside of the left post.
Shortly afterwards, the hosts equalised and for much of the first half Kent failed to produce despite being afforded several openings in front of goal. Yet, just as the commentators began to question him, he pulled off arguably the most impressive individual moment of the season to date.
Cutting inside onto his left foot courtesy of a couple of stepovers, he sent a rasping shot straight into the top left corner from 25 yards out.
It was the best strike he’s produced in a Rangers shirt and it gave him his first goal since signing a permanent deal with the club.
In the second half, he continued to look to inflict damage on the opponents and in injury time, he capped a match-winning display with a confidently taken second.
Bears went wild on social media, particularly for his first goal, raving about the quality of the strike.
Here’s a selection of reactions:
