Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers signed Ryan Kent but how will he cope with the Scottish Premiership?

Ryan Kent joined Rangers on a season-long loan from Liverpool on Sunday.

The Liverpool attacker became Steven Gerrard’s 10th summer signing at Rangers – and the fourth player to join the Gers on loan.

In doing so, Kent takes on his first challenge since the disappointing six-month stint at Bristol City in the Championship last term.

The 21-year-old, who managed only 10 outings for the Robins, was ultimately omitted from match-day squads by manager Lee Johnson, who publicly admitted that the venture hadn’t worked out as planned.

And here is how some fans of the Ashton Gate club reacted to his Rangers transfer:

Kent is certainly a talented lad but his confidence must have taken a knock in the Championship last term.

As a result, it will be interesting to see if Rangers boss Gerrard can revitalise him over the coming weeks, in time for the Blues’ Scottish Premiership campaign.

The goal for Gerrard will be to make him forget about his troubles at City and start afresh in Glasgow. If the iconic midfielder can manage it, the young winger could be a big asset at Ibrox.
