Ryan Kent Rangers injury sweat addressed by Gio van Bronckhorst as winger limps off against Dundee

Rangers boss Gio van Bronckhorst has moved to cool concerns over Ryan Kent after he limped off against Dundee.

The winger was replaced in the second half as his side cruised into the semi-final stage of the Scottish Cup.

But with the Europa League second leg against Red Star Belgrade on Thursday, and the Premiership title race ramping up, fears were raised over a lengthy absence for the key man.

However, Van Bronckhorst doesn't expect a long-term absence for Kent.

The Rangers boss told Premier Sports following the match: "He's fine. I think he just had a bruise.

"I don't think it's anything special. I wanted to take him off just before it happened, but he's ok."

Ryan Jack also came off late in the game, but Van Brockhorst insist there has been no injury recurrence.

When asked about his fitness, he said: "He's ok.

"We're happy with the result, and we have a day to rest up.

"We will be back on Tuesday to prepare for Red Star, of course we played them last week, so I have a much better view on the game.

"We want to be in the next round. If you are winning or losing it doesn't matter, you have to prepare the team for whatever comes."
