If there is anyone who could convince Ryan Kent to remain at Rangers it's Michael Beale - after all the winger has known the highly-rated coach for more of his football career than he hasn't.
The pair enjoy a positive relationship spanning 12 years - almost five more than Kent has been a full-time first-team professional football. If Beale talks, Kent listens, and vice-versa.
It's therefore not outwith the realms of possibility that Kent could end up staying at Ibrox and not departing in the summer when his current contract expires - and Beale remains hopeful there's a future with the winger as part of his squad past the summer.
