Ryan Kent Rangers injury issue explained as star returns to starting line-up

Ryan Kent Rangers injury issue explained as star returns to starting line-up

RYAN KENT has returned to the Rangers team to take on Union Saint-Gilloise in tonight's crucial Champions League qualifier.

The winger has overcome an injury worry to take his place in the line-up with Giovanni van Bronckhorst clarifying an ankle knock kept Kent out of the first-leg and against Kilmarnock.

Kent had featured in the opening day win over Livingston but suffered an injury after landing awkwardly, Van Bronckhorst confirmed.

Fortunately for Rangers, the winger has recovered with any pain now cleared up.

Van Bronckhorst told BBC Scotland: "At the end of the game (against Livingston) he fell a little bit awkwardly on his ankle.

"He twisted it a little bit but luckily for us, the pain that he had is gone.

"He will play a big part. We know the player that he is and the quality that he has.

"He will give us another dimension today, which we missed last week so I'm happy that he's involved today."
