Kris Boyd has told The Scottish Sun that Rangers loanee Ryan Kent has been his stand-out young player for the season.

The 22-year-old was named as Scottish Young Player of the Year earlier this month for a dazzling season-long loan at Rangers.

Kent, on loan from Liverpool, scored six and set up six goals for the Gers across all competitions, though the statistics don’t tell the full story.

He has been so impressive, in fact, that the Reds could ask for as much as £12 million for him this summer [The Echo].

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard is on record saying that he’d love him back at Ibrox next term, and admitted recently that he had officially bid to keep him [The Record].

And Boyd was reminded of Kent’s class after watching him up close in Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Kilmarnock.

He told The Scottish Sun: “The on-loan Rangers winger was honoured by his fellow pros earlier this month as PFA Scotland Young player of the Year. I saw his quality up close again at Rugby Park on Sunday and it’s no surprise Rangers are keen to get him back from Liverpool again next season.

Kent truly is a class act and Liverpool would be wise to send him back to the Gers on loan.

After all, he has improved in a major way since Gerrard began coaching him and, at 22, he could get a lot better.
