Ryan Kent given new Rangers contract hope as Barry Ferguson tips 'magical' winger to be Aberdeen difference maker

Barry Ferguson reckons Ryan Kent might well sign up for the long-term now he's reunited with Michael Beale at Rangers.

Kent is out of contract at the end of the season and sorting out his future, as well as Alfredo Morelos', is high on Beale's agenda. The boss said in his press conference ahead of Tuesday's trip to face Aberdeen that he sees Kent as a key player and is delighted to be working with him again, having coached him at Liverpool when he was a youngster and during his spell at Rangers in Steven Gerrard's coaching team.

The Record Sport columnist said on Go Radio: "Those quotes from Beale tell me he wants to try and build the team around Ryan Kent.
