Rangers put the icing on the top of a perfect week for them after a disastrous defeat to Livingston last week.

A 3-1 win against Rapid Vienna on Thursday was followed by a 3-1 win against Premiership leaders Hearts on Sunday, and fans were blown away by Liverpool loanee Ryan Kent.

He had a great game at Ibrox on Thursday night and again on Sunday, when he scored the opening goal in just the third minute of the match.

And he was named as Rangers Player of the Month earlier on Monday.

Fans are delighted that he seems to have found his feet in Scotland and see him as a major weapon going forwards.

Here are the best reactions from delighted Rangers fans:

OPINION

It’s a big move going from the Liverpool youth set-up to Rangers. Kent has had loan stints at Coventry, Bristol City and Barnsley too, but nothing would have prepared him for life at Ibrox. Fans weren’t convinced at the start of his Rangers career but he’s stepped up a gear now and has been rewarded with the player of the month award. Many people wondered who Gerrard would bring from Liverpool and perhaps Ovie Ejaria and Kent weren’t the big names they were hoping for. Dominic Solanke was a name that was mentioned heavily over the summer but he stayed at Anfield, although it’s still not working out for him there. Kent’s move shows why loan moves are a good idea and why a club like Rangers is absolutely perfect for players who can’t break into top Premier League sides. Many Rangers fans want Gerrard to sign him on a permanent deal, but that’s probably unlikely. Jurgen Klopp has showed no signs of playing his talented youth players but he has also shown no signs of wanting to get rid of any of them permanently.
