Ryan Kent – Rangers
Kent scored a cracker in what was a feisty Glasgow Derby, but it was not enough as Celtic beat Steven Gerrard’s Rangers 2-1 at Celtic Park.

Kent lost his head in the match dropping Celtic midfielder Scott Brown to the floor. Luckily for him, the referee didn’t see the incident and escaped a booking – however, he could face punishment in the coming days.
