# Rangers: Andrew Dickson lauds Ryan Kent’s performance

**Andrew Dickson has been showering Ryan Kent with praise after the winger’s fine display for Glasgow Rangers in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night.**

### The Lowdown: Job done

After a 4-2 win in the first leg, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team got the job done last night with a 2-2 draw at Ibrox, meaning that they won the tie 6-4 on aggregate.

James Tavernier would have grabbed most of the headlines with [his two goals](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-borussia-dortmund/report/461068) against Borussia Dortmund, but there were some other sublime performances in a Light Blue shirt on the night.

### The Latest: Dickson praises Kent

Taking to Twitter, Scottish football journalist [Dickson](https://twitter.com/mrandrewdickson/status/1497000884026363904) praised Kent in particular after his performance, along with Tavernier, Calvin Bassey and Alfredo Morelos.

He gushed: *“Bassey was brilliant in the second half, did ever so well for the equaliser.* *Tavernier terrific, Kent showed what a big-game player he is once again.* *Morelos lazy at Dortmund’s second but made up for it after the break.”*

### The Verdict: Made for the big stage

As Dickson hinted, Kent is simply made for the big stage, and the 25-year-old certainly came into his element last night.

The winger won 10 duels in the match (more than anyone else) and completed four successful dribbles, only matched by Rangers team-mate Joe Aribo. He was also fouled on four occasions, played one key pass ([SofaScore](https://www.sofascore.com/borussia-dortmund-rangers/bXsydb)) and was unlucky not to find himself on the scoresheet after having his goal [ruled out by VAR](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-borussia-dortmund/report/461068).

It was an inspirational performance from Kent, and the Teddy Bears will be hoping that he can maintain those levels in the next round of the competition.
