Giovanni van Bronckhorst admitted Ryan Kent needs to “bring more” as he challenged the winger to find the consistency to go with his talent. Kent netted his first league goal in 10 months in the rout over Hearts at Tynecastle last weekend.
And the Dutchman said that was a reminder of what the 25-year-old is capable of as he cut inside to lash the ball beyond Craig Gordon. Kent is out of contract at the end of this season and will be able negotiate a pre-contract in three months time but has come in for some criticism from supporters over his below par displays.
Kent faced his former club Liverpool at the weekend and, as Gers prepare to face St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday, van Bronckhorst said: “He has to bring more. Ryan is an exceptional player with a lot of qualities. The performance he had against Hearts was a really good one with a lot of threat going forward.
