Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers cruised to three points at the weekend, with Steven Gerrard happy with his side’s display.

Glasgow Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has told the club’s official website that both Scott Arfield and Ryan Kent need to score more often.

Arfield and Kent both got on the scoresheet for Rangers as they beat Hearts this weekend, but the pair haven’t been prolific this season.

And Gerrard admits that Rangers need to get the new signings hitting the back of the net more often, to back up Alfredo Morelos.

“The key for us as a team is can we start adding other people to that list? Can we get Kent’s numbers up? Can we get Arfield’s numbers up? That’s the challenge,” Gerrard said.

Rangers’ win over Hearts has pushed them right back into touching distance of the league leaders.

Rangers were beaten by Livingston two weekends’ ago, in what was a disappointing display, but they have responded well.

Gerrard’s side have now closed the gap on top of the league Hearts to five points, and sit in sixth place in the Scottish Premier League standings.

Rangers are next in action at the weekend, when they travel to take on Hamilton.
