The win over PSV was a huge victory for the Gers that featured several impressive performances on the night from many different players.
However, Kent was one of the stars of the night with the English winger standing out against the Dutch giants.
The 25-year-old winger was direct and creative, showing great energy and drive on the left wing to help his team get the win.
His pass into Colak, a lovely cushioned layoff in th efirst half, was just one of the moments of magic he produced in the game.
Throughout the game, he showed great skill and imagination to create chances for team mates while also being defensivley switched on at the other end of the pitch.
Rangers will be hoping to see more performances like this from the former Liverpool man and it was good to see him return to his old form.
