Kent has starred for Rangers since joining the club on loan from Liverpool.
Ryan Kent has told the official Rangers podcast that his loan side have the “best fans in the world” as he continues to shine during his temporary spell north of the border from Liverpool.
The 21-year-old is quickly endearing himself to the Rangers faithful and improving his performance game by game, as the Gers continue to get better under Steven Gerrard.
Though his stats are not particularly impressive – two goals and one assist in 17 outings – it is Kent’s speed with the ball and contribution to play that gets overlooked at times. It has not been missed by Gerrard, who rates the winger highly.
The Liverpool winger was asked what he has thought of Rangers fans since joining the club in the summer, and will have delighted the Ibrox support by saying they are the best around.
“The fans have been incredible throughout my time here,” Kent said. “They have a big part to play in our performances. I think you can see that in the results we have had recently.
“Especially for me, when I pick the ball up and I hear all the fans get behind me, it gives me a great deal of confidence. They’re the best fans in the world and you can see that with the atmosphere in each game.”
Kent’s performances have already got fans talking over a permanent deal for the former Bristol City, Barnsley and SC Freiburg loanee, and he himself has even suggested to the Scottish Sun that he would consider such a move.
He could be in line to start on Sunday afternoon as Rangers travel to the SuperSeal Stadium to face Martin Canning’s struggling Hamilton side, who sit in ninth place after their 6-0 loss to Hibernian last time out.
