Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos Rangers 'best case scenario' as club could be lowballed in January

Kenny Miller says Rangers have to decide whether or not it's actually worth keeping Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent.

The attacking pair have their contracts run out at the end of the season and while worth tens of millions in the peak of their Light Blues powers, both could leave for £0 amid lamented seasons so far. Antonio Colak has made himself Rangers' main striker at Morelos' expense this season while Kent hasn't displayed consistency in his left winger position.

It's got ex-striker Miller wondering whether it's actually worth his former club dishing out renewals in the hopes of fortune further down the line. He said in his Sunday Mail column: "I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rangers will now be asking, ‘Do we really want to re-sign Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent?’ First and foremost, the club have to weigh up what it’s going to take to keep the pair.

"For both, it will be a minimum three-year deal and probably for improved terms on top of what will already be a good pay packet within Rangers’ wage structure.

"Based on what we are seeing from them at the moment, form wise, then it’s a huge decision. A few months ago I said a bit of security might be the key for Kent to rediscover his best form because he has been well short this season.

"Alfredo also needs to do so much more if he’s to budge Antonio Colak. can’t see either going for more than a couple of million with six months left on their contracts. And that’s a best-case scenario.

"Maybe that offer would tempt Rangers to sell. But a year or two ago, you could have put a one in front of that sum for both. If this was two seasons ago then everyone would be panicking. But now? I actually don’t sense much concern at all."
