Rangers are still keen on bringing Ryan Kent to Ibrox.

According to the Daily Record, Rangers are waiting for Jurgen Klopp to make a decision on winger Ryan Kent, as he’ll be given a chance to shine in Liverpool pre-season training.

The Gers took Kent on loan last summer, and it was seen as something of a gamble by Steven Gerrard, after struggling at Freiburg and Bristol City.

However, the 22-year-old excelled this season, notching six goals and nine assists on his way to winning the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award.

Rangers are keen to bring Kent back to Ibrox this summer, but the Daily Record claim that they’re waiting for Liverpool boss Klopp to make his decision.

Klopp allegedly wants to see Kent in pre-season training having received rave reviews about his performances in Scotland, meaning he has a shot at a Liverpool role next season.

That will be frustrating for Steven Gerrard, but Kent’s Liverpool teammate Sheyi Ojo is understood to be Ibrox-bound on a season-long loan deal.

Ojo has lost his way, just like Kent had, having struggled on loan at Stade Reims and Fulham, and Liverpool will be hoping that the 21-year-old can enjoy a similar renaissance to Kent under Gerrard.
