Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have lost Ryan Kent to injury.
Barry Ferguson has described Rangers’ loss of Ryan Kent through injury as a ‘massive blow’.
The Rangers attacker will miss the Gers’ Europa League clash away to Spartak Moscow tomorrow due to a hamstring injury.
The 21-year-old will also miss Sunday’s visit of Motherwell to Ibrox as a result of the problem, manager Steven Gerrard revealed.
Kent has been one of Rangers’ most influential players since joining on a season-long loan from Liverpool during the summer, netting three goals in all competitions.
And former Blues midfielder Ferguson has told PLZ Soccer that Gerrard will be worried by the setback.
“That’s a massive blow,” Ferguson said on PLZ Soccer “He’s the one player that can do something different in the final third, which has been seriously lacking for Rangers over the last couple of weeks.
“I’m sure the manager will be concerned about that one. He’s been probably Rangers’ best player this season, I’ve been really impressed with him.”
As if victory in Moscow wasn’t hard enough, Rangers also take on Spartak without big striker Kyle Lafferty who is missing through injury.
Kent is the bigger miss perhaps, though. Gerrard still has Alfredo Morelos at his disposal, lessening the need for Lafferty, but it remains to be seen who the 38-year-old picks to replace Kent.
Gerrard, whose side sit top of their Europa League group heading into the clash, doesn’t have a wealth of brilliant attacking players available, so time will tell who he selects.
