Ryan Kent sees Fenerbahce cards marked as Rangers hero dobbed in by own boss amid Scott McKenna whisper

Ryan Kent's performances at Fenerbahce have been put under review by his manager - and the former Rangers star could be joined in Istanbul by a former adversary.

The winger left Ibrox at the end of last season and moved to Istanbul on a free transfer. He's grabbed a goal and two assists in 14 games but has been limited to mainly substitute appearances in the Super Lig alongside participation in the Europa Conference League.

According to Turkish reports, boss Ismail Kartal has reported to management at the club ahead of the international break to provide an update on "player performance and transfer requests."

He is also competing to make Steve Clarke's Scotland squad that will head to Euro 2024 in Germany next season. Fenerbahce are currently top of the league on goal difference.
