Kent feels the fear factor is back at Ibrox after derby

RYAN KENT reckons Rangers have got their fear factor back after a dominant Old Firm display against Celtic at Ibrox. Steven Gerrard’s side moved level on points with their title rivals as Ryan Jack netted the only goal of a thrilling derby encounter on Saturday.

Rangers turned in their best performance of the season when it mattered most as boss Gerrard hailed a superb showing from his side that brought an end to Celtic’s long unbeaten run in the famous fixture.

Kent (inset) was one of several players that were in the running to take home the Man of the Match champagne as he dazzled on the left flank in his first game back from injury.

And the on-loan Liverpool kid revelled in the Old Firm experience as Rangers finished the first half of the campaign on a high.

Kent said: “You could see what it meant to the fans and to everyone associated with Rangers Football Club.

“To us, it’s just three points but we have got ourselves back into a good position. So we are going to come back firing after the break and hopefully pick up where we have left off.

“There was a lot more riding on that game for the club than just three points, I get that.

“To show everyone that we mean business. But it only puts us back level on points with Celtic.

“It’s up to us to carry on producing performances like that in the second half of the season.

“Everyone was buzzing in the dressing room afterwards but no-one is getting too carried away. It’s only the first half of the season.

“I’d like to think [we have put doubt in Celtic’s minds]. The way we played, I think everyone will fear us in the league. We were the better team.

“There are a lot of good players in our squad and you can see what it means to them. They all put 110 percent in.

“When we perform like that, you can see what we can get out of games.”
