Ryan Kent was the man for the moment at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon as his piledriver stole the show and secured the three points for his team.

Today’s victory means Rangers have secured 17 out of 17 at Fortress Ibrox.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard was unequivocal on the quality of Ryan Kent’s strike which proved to be the difference over Hibs:

“Ryan scored a world-class goal to take it away from them.”

This was Kent at his typical best.

The type of goal that only he – of all the Rangers squad – can produce.

Explosive, dynamic, devastatingย  – with opposition players left trailing.

Reality

The former-Liverpool man often comes in for criticism due to supposed inconsistency but it doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny.

He can be disappointing or frustrating because everyone knows just how good he can be and what he is capable of.

The reality is that if Kent was producing his best every week and maintaining that high level then he wouldn’t be at Ibrox.

Dips in his output are to be expected to an extent but forget that, enjoy the player that Rangers have and this latest example today shows just how good he is.

That goal today means that Kent has now registered 12 goals and 13 assists across all competitions this season – 9 and 9 in the Premiership which is a very decent return.

The good news is that there is scope for improvement and still more to come from Kent, a player to be enjoyed whilst he is in situ at Ibrox.
