Ryan Kent will play no part tomorrow as Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers look to book their ticket to the knockout phase of the Europa League.
Rangers have been dealt a big blow – a very big blow.
The Daily Record has reported that Ryan Kent has not travelled to Austria with his Rangers team-mates for tomorrow’s Europa League clash with Rapid Wien.
Kent, who joined the Gers on loan from Liverpool, came off at half-time during the 1-1 draw at Dundee on Sunday.
That was the 22-year-old’s first appearance in over a month following a separate injury.
And here’s how fans of the Ibrox club reacted to his latest setback:
It’s far from ideal for Rangers boss Steven Gerrard, who is arguably the 38-year-old’s best winger.
Kent, who has three goals and one assist this season, had been brilliant since the Glasgow giants lost Jamie Murphy for the entire season and they will miss the Englishman.
A victory away to Rapid tomorrow would see Rangers qualify for the knockout phase of the Europa League – a potentially remarkable achievement when you consider that the Gers never made it past the first qualification round under Pedro Caixinha only 18 months ago.
But the three points would have been a lot more likely with Kent included.
