Livingston assistant manager Marvin Bartley reckons Scottish football will see a new Ryan Kent after Rangers appointment of Michael Beale earlier this week.
Kent is free to speak to other club's in January as he enters the final six months of his Ibrox contract and has come under intense scrutiny for his performances this season, with Rangers creating unwanted records in the Champions League and falling nine points behind Celtic in the Premiership title race.
However Bartley insists Rangers boss Beale could start playing to the wingers strengths and predicts an upturn in contributions - starting with the clash against Hibs in two weeks time when the season resumes from the World Cup break. Although he used Livi striker Joel Nouble as a perfect example of someone who’s statistics don’t make as good reading as people expect. He told Clyde Superscoreboard: "I think when you are a manager and you look at the attacking side of your play, it's how can I utilise these players and get the best out of them. For that, Ryan Kent needs people going off him, even around him or in front of him so he can then drive at his player one versus one. There's no doubt in my mind that we will see a new Ryan Kent.
