Rangers winger Ryan Kent is closing in on return.

Ryan Kent is set to return for Rangers within a fortnight, according to Sky Sports.

Kent missed games earlier this month with a hamstring injury, sitting out matches with Spartak Moscow and Motherwell.

Rangers scored 10 goals in these games, and Kent will be itching to get back involved.

Kent has been Rangers’ most dangerous winger this season in the league, scoring three times.

He is on loan from Liverpool and has a chance to try and impress and try and earn a permanent deal.

When he does return, he has a chance to stamp his authority on the Rangers squad and show he is the main man.

Emerging threat

Rangers were so dangerous before the international break against Motherwell, scoring seven times.

Key to their success were three wingers, Eros Grezda, Glenn Middleton, and substitute Serge Atakayi.

All three can play prominent roles this season and the competition in the Rangers squad is high.

When Kent returns, his mission must be to establish himself at the pecking order and show Steven Gerrard and the Rangers fanbase that he should be first choice.

Rangers must not rush him back, but Kent will be anxious, knowing that his teammates’ continuing success without him may make it tricky for him to simply walk back into the side.
