Ryan Kent is worth £30m to Rangers insists Ally McCoist as Ibrox legend raves over star man

Ally McCoist insists Rangers could get up to £30million if they're forced to sell Ryan Kent in the summer.

The Englishman has been one of the stars of the season and ran riot in the 4-1 win over Celtic on Sunday.

McCoist told Record Sport earlier this week that the winger is the very last man his old club should even think about selling.

But the Ibrox legend acknowledges that an offer could come that Rangers cannot refuse.

Quizzed on what that would be on BT Sport's Scottish Football Extra the former striker named his price.

McCoist said: "By the way, it might happen if they get an unbelievable offer. That is the economics of football, we understand that totally.

"What's he worth? £25-30m right now. £25-30m for Ryan Kent."

Fellow guest Chris Sutton chimed in with a fee of £27m.

McCoist responded: "Well done, funnily enough that is between £25-30m!

"You've done well there, that is certainly a figure.

"You need Ryan Kents. These are the players you need to unlock defences, to get the ball, have the stepover: over left he's away right and vice-versa.

"He goes and commits somebody, he gets by somebody and someone has to come to him so the defence opens up.

"He is absolutely vital to Rangers."
