Rangers agree £7m fee to bring back winger Kent to Ibrox
Rangers have agreed to pay a fee of about £7 million for Liverpool winger Ryan Kent after the 22-year-old spent the summer in limbo.
The Reds refused to sanction a second loan move to Ibrox but Rangers bided their time.
However their hand was forced when Club Brugge made a move for the winger, who made 43 appearances during a season-long spell with Steven Gerrard’s side last year.
The Ibrox boss had claimed on Sunday that any incoming transfer would have to come “out of the blue”.
Rangers have also moved on three players.
Summer signing Jake Hastie has joined Rotherham on a seasonlong loan, former Scotland midfielder Graham Dorrans has been linked with Kilmarnock after agreeing a deal to tear up his Gers contract and midfielder Jason Holt has moved to St Johnstone on loan for the season.
Motherwell have signed former Kilmarnock and Dundee midfielder Mark O’Hara on a season-long loan from Peterborough.
Left-back Adam Livingstone has joined Morton on loan, while attacking midfielder Craig Tanner has rejected the offer of a four-month contract extension after recovering from a serious knee injury.
Kilmarnock have been linked with a number of players including Celtic pair Jack Hendry and Calvin Miller, both former Dundee players, and Scotland Under-21 and Venezia forward Harvey St Clair.
But the first piece of business at Rugby Park was the departure of veteran Kirk Broadfoot after the defender was released from his contract.
Hamilton have signed 22-year-old German midfielder Adrian Beck from Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian second tier on a season-long loan.
Head coach Brian Rice told the club’s website: “Offensive midfield is an area we needed to strengthen and I believe we’ve now done that.
“He’s a good age and he’s very sharp on the ball.”
Livingston announced the departure of former Rangers winger Gregg Wylde.
A club statement read: “Livingston FC can confirm the mutual termination of Gregg Wylde’s contract which sees the player depart the club with immediate effect.”
Scots on the move in England included former Rangers and Hibernian striker Jason Cummings, who moved from Nottingham Forest to Shrewsbury for an undisclosed fee, and former Hamilton midfielder Ali Crawford, who signed for Bolton from Doncaster.
