Rangers head to Tynecastle to take on Hearts on Sunday.
According to the Daily Record, winger Ryan Kent is in the Rangers squad to take on Hearts at Tynecastle on Sunday afternoon.
The Gers return to action tomorrow lunchtime, taking on Hearts at Tynecastle in a big game for Steven Gerrard’s men, who will hope to return to top spot.
Celtic’s 6-0 thrashing of Ross County on Saturday means Rangers are back down to second, but they can reclaim top spot immediately with a win in Edinburgh.
Gerrard will of course take a strong squad to the game, and it seems that his biggest summer signing will be available to play, even if only from the bench.
It’s claimed that Kent is in the squad for the game, and could make just his second appearance of the season having arrived from Liverpool on deadline day last month.
The 22-year-old made his second Rangers debut against Livingston in September, but lasted just 40 minutes before going off with a hamstring injury.
Now back to fitness, Kent is in the squad to face Hearts, though it’s likely he would only be a substitute at best, with a starting role a gamble at this stage.
Greg Stewart has impressed of late so may well start with Sheyi Ojo on the flanks, but having Kent as an impact substitute would be hugely exciting.
