Philippe Clement has addressed the recent transfer rumour that Rangers could move to sign Ryan Kent and seal his return to the club.

Kent became a fan favourite at Ibrox across seven years in Glasgow but left for Fenerbahce on a free in the summer of 2023.

However, his time there has been underwhelming and on Thursday, it was announced his contract in Turkey was terminated.

He is now a free agent and the situation was put to Clement as the Rangers boss previewed his side’s Premiership trip to Kilmarnock on Sunday.

Asked if a move for Kent is a possibility, Clement replied: “I’ve said already in this past year that I don’t go into rumours because then it never stops.

“So I’m not going to go into rumours. But of course, I know the player, and I’ve known him a long time, because the moment he went to Rangers, I was in talks with him to get him to (Club) Brugge.

“But there was a better deal, I think, in Rangers, in that way, so he chose for that. So, I’ve known him a long time, but I’m not going into rumours about bringing players on.”
