Ryan Kent produced another eye catching display for Rangers in the weekend win over St Mirren.

Kent scored in Rangers 4-0 win, rounding off a superb Ibrox win.

The winger is on loan from Liverpool and it is performances like this which have quickly seen Rangers fans hail him as a favourite.

The Mail reported in late December that Kent would be open to signing for Rangers permanently.

The Scottish Sun reported a fortnight later that Rangers were planning to hold talks with Liverpool over a permanent move.

This was one deal which Rangers could not get over the line before the transfer deadline.

Kent’s performance at the weekend underlined that this must be Rangers’ top priority in the transfer window.

What makes it difficult is the fact that the better Kent plays, the more Liverpool will want to hang onto him.

It will be so hard for Rangers to find a player who can effectively replace Kent in the summer if they can’t do a deal.

Getting the 22-year-old signed up permanently has to be the club’s absolute top priority.
