Ally McCoist stunned by Ryan Kent skill in Rangers clash v Lyon
Ally McCoist was left stunned by Rangers superstar Ryan Kent after the 1-1 draw against Lyon on Thursday evening.
The Bears were safely through their Europa League group already but ensured that Giovanni van Bronckhorst kept his unbeaten start intact.
Kent was at the heart of most things positive in the final third, with the Lyon defence simply unable to handle him.
Speaking during the half-time analysis of the clash on BT Sports, McCoist singled out one piece of skill in the opening 45 minutes.
“Great vision, it’s a great ball,” he said.
“That was a beautiful nutmeg.”
Wow.
We are really starting to see the best of Kent yet again since van Bronckhorst arrived at the club last month.
The former Liverpool attacker was starting to go stale under Steven Gerrard, and often frustrated by drifting far deeper than he needed too to collect the ball.
Van Bronckhorst likes his wingers as wide as possible, something that Kent has done, and he is getting to isolate and run at his man far more often as a result of that.
That is where he is at his best, and he embarrassed young defender Hugo Vogel until he was eventually replaced.
Kent is getting better and better yet again in this new Oranje era at Ibrox, and we can’t wait to see him yet again as we make the trip to Hearts for another tough challenge on Sunday afternoon (12th December).
McCoist was us all when we saw that piece of skill, and long may that continue from the flying Englishman.
