Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent makes admission over future after PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year

Liverpool loan star Ryan Kent has been named the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old , who has spent this season on loan at Rangers under Steven Gerrard , beat Aberdeen’s Lewis Ferguson and Motherwell pair Jake Hastie and David Turnbull to claim the prize.

Kent produced a number of impressive performances in the Scottish Premier League this season, scoring six goals and helping his side to a second-place finish.

He is the first Rangers player to pick up the award since 2010 and joins a list of previous winners which includes felllow Reds player Andy Robertson .

Kent moved to the Ibrox in July on a season long loan.

"I have been able to showcase my ability not only on a domestic level but also on a European platform and I have Steven Gerard to thank for that," he told  Sky Sports News.

"I am really grateful for the opportunities that I have been given this season."

Kent is due to return to Liverpool after the season but he says returning to Rangers is something he will consider.

"It is an option, it is a possibility," Kent said. "Since I have walked in the door on day one the fans have been magnificent to me. All the coaching staff and all the players have really made me feel welcome.

"I feel that has got the best out of me. This club has done a lot for me so it would be nice to do a lot for them in the future as well."
