Celtic and Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish suggests Ryan Kent for Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers.

Ryan Kent at Rangers

Sir Kenny Dalglish has suggested in The Sunday Post (print edition, Post Match, July 14, 2019) that Liverpool winger Ryan Kent can help Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers stop Celtic next season.

Kent spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Rangers from Liverpool and was a key figure in Gerrard’s team.

Stats

According to WhoScored, the winger made 25 starts and two substitute appearances in the Scottish Premiership for the Gers last season, scoring six goals in the process.

The 22-year-old also made four appearances in the Scottish Cup and three in the Scottish League Cup for Rangers last season, according to WhoScored.

Rangers target

Rangers manager Gerrard has told The Scottish Sun that he wants to bring Kent back to Ibrox for the 2019-20 campaign.

The Glasgow giants will have to do a loan deal, while Liverpool want £12 million as transfer fee for the winger, according to The Liverpool Echo.

Stopping Celtic

Celtic have won the Scottish Premiership title for the past eight seasons, but Hoops and Liverpool legend Dalglish believes that Kent can be a major player for Rangers in their attempt to stop the Bhoys from making it nine in a row in 2019-20.

Dalglish wrote in The Sunday Post (print edition, Post Match, July 14, 2019): “It’s only logical that Rangers want to bring Ryan Kent back to the club.

“He is a fine young player, and would be a major asset in their quest to stop Celtic winning nine league titles in a row.”
