Ryan Kent started for Rangers in the 3-0 win over Hearts in the Scottish League Cup semi-final.

Rangers are through to the final after their win at Hampden Park. It sets up a tense encounter between Rangers and Old Firm rivals Celtic for the first piece of silverware in Scottish football this season.

Kent was given a start for Rangers and he came through 66 minutes before Joe Aribo replaced him. Steven Gerrard is slowly getting Kent back up to speed after a spell out with a hamstring injury.

Kent terrorises Hearts

Rangers signed Kent on a permanent deal from Liverpool in the summer after his top performances last season. In the cup semi-final, he once again reminded Rangers fans just how talented he is.

The 22-year-old runs with pace and he has a direct approach. He caused problems for Hearts defenders all afternoon. And he played a central role in all three of Rangers’ goals.

Kent played the ball into Alfredo Morelos, who crossed for Filip Helander’s opener. Then, in the second half, Kent’s clever reverse pass to Borna Barisic started the move that saw Morelos make it 2-0. Kent then grabbed an assist of his own, tearing down the left-wing and crossing for Morelos to add another.
