Kris Boyd slams £7m Rangers star despite huge 5-0 win over Hearts

[ad_1]

Kris Boyd told Sky Sports he was still waiting to see more from Rangers star Ryan Kent, despite his superb display in his side’s 5-0 win at Ibrox on Sunday. Rangers bounced back, to easily beat Hearts.

After suffering an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Old Firm rivals Celtic on Wednesday, Rangers needed to bounce back and they did just that – with Gio van Bronckhorst’s biggest ever win. The return of Alfredo Morelos was crucial.

A double from Morelos, as well as goals from Scott Arfield, Fashion Sakala and Glen Kamara won the game for Gers. Kent, 25, was superb for Gers before being forfeited in the 85th – replaced by Amad Diallo.

His cross opened the scoring, with Morelos tapping home. He also got a second assist for Sakala moments before going off – and although Boyd was impressed with Kent, he knows the former Liverpool man is capable of more.

“The Ryan Kent of a few seasons ago was electric. Today there were spells where he was getting there. But you always expect more from him. As a manager you would be, because of the talent that ‘he has.

“It’s important for him to come back to this level. He needs to show why he was Scotland’s No.1 player for several seasons,” Boyd said during Sky Sports’ coverage of the 5-0 win at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.

Boyd on Kent: Rangers star was all over the place, unlucky not to score

But his lack of goals for Rangers this season was evident. Kent has scored just twice in 24 appearances – but he has 10 assists to his name, having created two on Sunday. He should have scored twice.

Although Boyd is right, there is more to come from Kent and he is not yet functioning at his optimum level – Kent is still playing quite well, perhaps more selfless and ready to be creative instead of a threat of goal.
