Charlie Nicholas believes Rangers have a 'genuine chance' of keeping Ryan Kent beyond the summer as he named the one thing that would help the cause.
The Light Blues star is in the final six months of his contract and is now free to talk to other interested clubs and pen a pre-contract if he wants. He joined the club on an initial loan deal under Steven Gerrard before making the switch permanent in a big-money move from Liverpool. He's been a man for the big occasion for the Ibrox side and after a slump in form has started to recapture his spark under Michael Beale.
The Ibrox gaffer - who was No2 under Gerrard - has known the attacker for a long, long time. Kent has previously hailed him as 'key' in his career from a young age, branded him a brilliant manager and coach and admitted his full trust in the 42-year-old. That bond could play a key role in keeping the 26-year-old around at Rangers for more years to come. Former Celtic man and pundit Nicholas wouldn't be surprised if he stays on beyond the summer and says landing a trophy or two could enhance chances of striking an agreement between the player and club.
