Former Liverpool midfielder Ryan Kent has taking a parting shot at Liverpool, as the player prepares for his return to the Rangers side after injury.
Kent has been injured since returning to Rangers on deadline day over the summer, but took a shot at his former employers for the fitness regime they put him on before he returned to Scotland.
Kent returned to action against Hearts at the weekend, but told Rangers TV that he didn’t feel ready for action after leaving Liverpool:
I’ve been waiting a long time for that and for it to be cut short through injury was obviously very disappointing.
It was a bit of a setback. But I had the mentality that it was a minor setback for a major comeback.
Every time you step out at Ibrox, it’s always special.
I love these fans here and I feel like that’s reciprocated from them as well. Every time I step out on that pitch I want to give them a show and something to cheer for.
The training programme I had prior to coming here didn’t really stand me in good stead for coming back playing again.
But with the physio and fitness coaches I have now, I feel like I’ve got myself back up to a good level of fitness and the right fitness for game time.
Am I ready to start a game? Yes.
Read Liverpool’s verdict
It is disappointing to read that Kent felt he wasn’t been given the best treatment at Liverpool.
The midfielder moving to Rangers was seemingly the best deal for both parties, so he surely is in a better place now.
If he can repeat the form he showed last season, he could be a star for Rangers yet again.
