Rangers attacker on loan from Liverpool split opinion with his performance against FC Ufa at Ibrox.

Rangers fans are seen during the Scottish Cup Quarter final match between Rangers and Hamilton Academical at Ibrox Stadium on March 4, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Rangers winger Ryan Kent split fans with his performance in the club’s Europa League clash against FC Ufa.

Kent’s corner led to Rangers scoring the opener through Connor Goldson, after the defender pounced on a shot spilled from Alfredo Morelos’ header.

From open play in front of a packed crowd at Ibrox, Kent struggled to find a cutting edge.

There is more onus on the Liverpool loanee to step up after the season ending injury suffered by Rangers teammate Jamie Murphy.

Last night he did not quite cut it, despite displaying a few encouraging signs.

The biggest positive is that he helped make a telling contribution with his corner, but there is still a sense that the loanee is capable of more if he can simplify his game and improve his decision making.

Kent, 21, was taken off and replaced with Glenn Middleton, another young attacker attempting to make his mark.
