Steven Gerrard last night revealed that both Ryan Kent and Borna Barisic are nearing returns to the Rangers first team. Gerrard said: “The international break has come at a good time for Ryan Kent. “He’s probably now a couple of weeks away, he’s progressing well. “Borna is very close, he’ll be back in the squad…
I think there’s some really good points here.
He’s had the chance to settle into things with his injury, and could finally be ready to make a good impact. The stats you provided regarding assists are also impressive considering he’s been injured for such a substantial period of time,
One big concern for Rangers, in my opinion, will be whether he’s injury-prone or not. Rangers really don’t need more issues at left-back, particularly with Jon Flanagan looking seriously poor recently.
Although, I’m not for Barisic just jumping into the side. Halliday, for me, deserves to keep his place until he’s proven otherwise. So far he’s been solid, and I think it sends out the wrong message to just toss Barisic the shirt again.
