Rangers face strong competition for the 22-year-old Liverpool winger’s signature.

Both Aston Villa and Leeds have already signalled their interest in doing a deal.

Kent saw his stock soar after picking up the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award last term.

But McAllister is still optimistic about an Ibrox return.

He said: “It is ongoing, but the decisions at Liverpool will probably be later down the line.

“Is he worth the wait? I would say so.

“He has got a rapport with the fans and there is no doubt he enjoyed his time here.

“That’s on the pitch, in and around the training ground and the city as well — he enjoyed Glasgow.

“We have to be aware that Liverpool might receive bids, but you don’t know.

“If Ryan is to go back out on loan again, I think we’d be first in line.”
