Steven Gerrard has told Glasgow Rangers’ official website that Ryan Kent is closing in on making his return for the Ibrox side.

Kent damaged his hamstring just before the international break, in what was a blow for Rangers.

But the winger has worked hard over the two week hiatus from club football to ensure that he is available as soon as possible.

And Gerrard has suggested that Kent will be lining up for Rangers again sooner rather than later.

The Light Blues boss said: “The international break has come at a good time for Ryan Kent because he has had ten days to two weeks without any games at a really important stage of a hamstring injury.

“He is probably now a couple of weeks away, hopefully if everything keeps moving the way it has been because he is doing really well. He is out on the pitch doing some jogging so he progressing really well.”

Rangers actually coped very well without Kent involved in their last match, as they demolished Motherwell.

However, Gerrard will want Kent back in his team as quickly as possible, as the youngster has been one of Rangers’ most dangerous attacking outlets this season.

Kent has impressed since arriving at Ibrox on loan from Liverpool, with his dribbling skills catching the eye.

Rangers are next in action at the weekend when they take on Livingston.
