Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers have enjoyed Ryan Kent’s impact during his loan spell at Ibrox this season.

Steven Gerrard has told the Glasgow Evening Times that he wants Ryan Kent at Glasgow Rangers next season, although the final decision is out of his hands.

Kent has been one of Rangers’ most dangerous attacking players this term, since joining on loan from Liverpool.

The Ibrox crowd have quickly taken the youngster to their hearts, and Kent appears to be enjoying his time in Scotland.

Gerrard has now suggested that he wants Kent at Ibrox next term, but doing a deal could be complicated.

“Liverpool and Ryan and his reps… I’ve made it very clear what I would like. Unfortunately, I don’t make the final decision on it,” he said.

“The players are loving having him here and playing with him. And Ryan’s having the time of his life. I think the next decision on Ryan’s future has to be made very carefully because, for me, football’s about happiness.Sometimes it’s difficult to find that.

“You have to be around the right people at the right place. So I will be interested to see what the next decision is on him. Unfortunately, I don’t make that.”

Whether Rangers will be able to make Kent’s loan move from Liverpool a permanent one remains to be seen.

Liverpool are likely to want a sizeable fee for the winger, which may put him out of Rangers’ price-range.

Kent has scored six goals and claimed four assists in 22 league matches for Rangers so far this term.

The winger is currently suspended for two games though, so he will miss out on playing for Gerrard’s side this evening, when they take on Hearts.
