Ryan Kent was involved in one of the videos of an early Rangers training session under former boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst. It saw the Dutchman’s first team coach Roy Makaay having words with the winger and it didn’t come across as entirely complimentary.
“Keep it simple, tricks are for the circus,” said the legendary striker. That quote was lapped up by supporters as they sensed a no-nonsense approach that could see Kent benefit after the departure of Steven Gerrard who had played such a key role in his time at Ibrox due to their Liverpool connection. But it never transpired and by the end of Van Bronckhorst’s time Kent - who missed that glorious late extra time chance to seal the Europa League against Eintracht Frankfurt in Seville - was, along with Alfredo Morelos, arguably the player who had seen the biggest decline in his game.
So it was interesting to see that in a short clip of the second day of training posted by the club that Kent was again at the centre of it - but this time the 26-year-old looked to be back to his old self. And, interestingly, it was Morelos who was involved in the move that saw him despatch a fine training ground strike.
