Last week Steve Davis was a Rolls Royce, providing the same function at Ibrox as Callum McGregor delivers to Celtic.
Unfortunately after his Roller performance against Hibs the veteran midfielder picked up a knee injury in training and won’t play again this season.
Now Keith Jackson is comparing Ryan Kent with Leo Messi. One has just driven his country to World Cup glory, the other has scored once in the SPFL over the last 12 months. He also has an 88th minute Europa League howler scarred on his memory.
Wins over Aberdeen and Ross County appear to have sent delusions sky high, sharing his thoughts with Daily Record readers Jackson explains:
Beale may still be feeling his way into the position and is carrying out running repairs as he goes along. But what has become crystal clear already is Kent’s importance to everything he is trying to knit together.
By deploying the attacker in a more central position he has effectively asked him to do for Rangers what Lionel Messi was doing for Argentina throughout the World Cup.
OK, calm down. No one is suggesting for a moment here that Kent belongs in the great GOAT debate. But the fact remains, he does for this Rangers team what the little magician has just been doing for his country all over Doha and its surrounding areas.
He operates on another level from his team-mates to such an extent that the boss sees fit to build an entire side around him. That’s exactly what Beale has been doing over the course of the last couple of weeks, having shifted Kent into that more creative position through the middle.
Later, award winning Jackson adds:
It is a major tick in Beale’s box that he has identified this problem for himself and done something meaningful about mending it. By allowing Kent to drift into the Messi role, he has given his talisman the freedom to attack teams from all manner of angles and this unpredictability makes him a much harder man to mark than he ever was under van Bronckhorst.
Messi and Kent are both out of contract at the end of the season, Barcelona are only showing interest in one of them.
Kent is Messi and Lundstrum says they are not even thinking about them being 9 points behind even though he is talking about them being 9 points behind .
Ha ha
Hells Bells . Guys with the straight jackets should get him before he dors himself an injury !!?.
Scotlands media shame. In the past it was a decent newspaper but now i am sorry to say it is now as shameless as any english far right rag.
Keech compares Kunta Kenty with Messi.
Whatever he’s on, find out and avoid it like the plague.
Whatever he’s on I want a hauf dod o it,he’s pure spangled
So Kent is Messi Fred Davis last week was a Roy’s Rolls Royce now out for the season and Arfield should replace Hatate in the Celtic squad.
This is what happens when you sniff the glue smoke they funny fags and drink to much Eldorado,you end up talking some amount of shite,the thing is Jackass Jackson the BOOZE JOCKEY is getting paid for writing this shite.
Ayahuasca tends to do that to some people’s minds ! I hope the Record’s top sports scoop was wearing extra tight ,thick adult pampers while drinking the potion … The mess and smell at the rear end ,tends to be extra Messi ,sorry messy ….
