Former Rangers boss Alex McLeish believes Leeds United target Ryan Kent will eventually leave Rangers.

The dynamic winger has impressed in the Scottish Premiership, and is being touted for a move to the Premier League.

Rangers boss Steven Gerrard recently admitted he would sell Kent, or any other player, if a good enough bid was made.

Asked about the situation, McLeish told Ibrox News: "Well, I think there will be alarm bells ringing there after that news.

"However, at the moment you don't see any disruption in his game. He's playing at a fantastic level and he just has to keep showing what he can do.

"Listen, we've said many times that there comes a time when you can't stop the sale of a certain player. I couldn't do it back in the day when Lorenzo Amoruso went to Blackburn, it was money the club needed at the time and you have to do what the money guys tell you to.

"That's when recruitment becomes absolutely crucial.

"The good thing is that Stevie is quietly and slowly over a period of two to three years getting the recruitment spot on, as we can see now."
