Kenny Dalglish waxes lyrical over Ryan Kent, predicts Rangers v Braga
Kenny Dalglish believes that Rangers will fancy their chances against Braga in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
Gers have made it deep into Europe and have been handed a favourable draw against the Portuguese side.
While Dalglish expects the SPFL champions to go through, he claims that Braga must not be underestimated.
Waxing lyrical over Ryan Kent in his Sunday Post column, Dalglish wrote:
“Ryan Kent’s goal for Rangers against Red Star Belgrade came at the perfect time. After a one-two with Glen Kamara, it carried a wee bit of luck as the ball crossed the line for the equaliser.
“But when these things are going for you, then you cash in. There is no need to apologise.
“You could say the draw has been kind to the Light Blues by giving them the Portuguese, who are currently lying fourth in their domestic championship.
“But, remember, they knocked out Monaco, who are no mugs. In Carlos Carvalhal, they have a manager who knows his stuff. Tactically he is astute, and he’s good at man-management.”
Up for it
This is by no means a walkover for Gers.
They have to be at it from minute one or risk losing the clash and facing an exit from Europe.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst will certainly not allow any complacency from his players.
Thus far, they have been imperious in the Europa League and must carry that all the way until the final.
Hopefully, they make small work of Braga and get closer to the big day that will get all Rangers fans excited.
