He’s Back! Rangers Set to Re-Sign Former Fan Favourite in Stunning Transfer Twist
In a sensational twist that few saw coming, Rangers FC are on the verge of bringing back one of their most beloved former players in what could be the shock move of the summer.
Sources close to the club have confirmed that Rangers are deep in negotiations to re-sign winger Ryan Kent, who left the club in 2023 for Turkish side Fenerbahçe. After a rocky stint abroad filled with injury setbacks and limited playing time, Kent is understood to be keen on a return to Glasgow and manager Russell Martins has reportedly approved the move.
Talks Advanced — Deal Could Be Completed in Days
Talks are said to be in an advanced stage, with the player’s representatives already in the UK to finalize personal terms. A season long deal with an option to extend is on the table, and Rangers are confident of wrapping up the deal before their pre-season tour begins.
“Ryan still loves the club. He feels he has unfinished business at Ibrox,” a source close to the player revealed. “He knows the fans, the system, and the expectations. He wants to come home.”
Kent’s First Spell at Ibrox — A Fan Favourite
Ryan Kent originally joined Rangers on loan from Liverpool in 2018 before making the move permanent in a £7 million deal. He quickly became a fan favourite thanks to his explosive pace, direct dribbling, and crucial goals including against Celtic.
During his time in Glasgow, Kent made over 200 appearances, scoring 33 goals and assisting many more. He was instrumental in Rangers’ invincible 2020–21 league title run under Steven Gerrard, and was widely regarded as one of the league’s top talents.
A Risk Worth Taking?
While fans are excited, some are asking whether Kent can return to his best. His form dipped toward the end of his Rangers career, and his time in Turkey was far from smooth. However, insiders believe a return to a familiar environment with a manager who trusts him could reignite his confidence.
Former Rangers captain Barry Ferguson weighed in on the rumours during his radio segment this morning:
> “If it happens, it’s massive. We all know what Kent can do when he’s motivated. And if the manager can get even 80% of his best level, it’s a bargain.”
Fans React “Get It Done!”
As soon as news of the possible return broke online, Rangers Twitter/X exploded with excitement.
> @BluesOfIbrox: “He knows what it means to wear the shirt. Give me Ryan Kent over any new signing any day of the week!”
@GersDaily: “Don’t care if he had a rough patch Kent back at Ibrox is a cheat code. Get it done!”
Even Celtic fans chimed in, with some expressing concern over the prospect of Kent once again terrorizing their defense.
What This Means for Rangers’ Season
If the deal goes through, Kent will add depth, experience, and familiarity to a squad already targeting a strong domestic campaign and a return to the Champions League group stage.
Combined with the recent arrival of midfielder Jacob Greaves and links to a new centre forward from Belgium, the Kent deal would signal that Rangers are dead serious about reclaiming the Scottish Premiership title.
Official confirmation is expected within the next 48 hours. Stay tuned.
