As Rangers count the cost of a miserable Scottish Premiership campaign, Ibrox winger Ryan Kent must hold his hands up to his role in the club’s woeful return.
Having played such an influential part last season, the 25-year-old former Liverpool winger has too often come up short on the domestic stage this season.
For a player who cost £7m not to perform in the league campaign is monumental and the fact Ryan Kent has been consistently inconsistent is a big reason why we’re six points behind in the title race.
In 23 Premiership matches this season, Ryan Kent has only scored two goals and this return is quite simply not good for a player of his calibre and ability.
In the Europa League, the winger has been grabbing headlines and taking ankles with impressive performances against both Borussia Dortmund and Red Star Belgrade.
Rangers star Ryan Kent has let club down in Scotland this season
This has now been feeding into the notion that the winger is amongst several in the squad who have perhaps stayed at Ibrox a little longer than is sensible for everyone involved.
Only a few weeks ago we would’ve been discussing the situation surrounding Ryan Kent and the fact he’s heading into the final year of his contract this summer.
There’s no doubt that this has led to Kent’s value depreciating but on the other side the player’s performances this season don’t exactly inspire confidence surrounding a new contract.
A wonderful talent on his day, Ryan Kent is probably the player with the most talent and potential in Scottish football but it’s clear the motivation to play here has began to dwindle.
A summer exit surely beckons now because for all parties involved, things don’t appear to be currently working and Rangers will do well to make a small profit off the winger this summer as they look to fund a rebuild.
Rangers winger Ryan Kent isn’t the only one who has let the club down with poor performances as a clip sums up fan frustrations with another leading player.
