RYAN KENT says he is always looking to feed the ball into Alfredo Morelos because he knows that if he supplies the ammuntion, his team-mate has the finishing ability to devastate the opposition.

The Rangers pair will tonight face Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of their Europa League encounter and both players were on form in the 4-2 win in Germany last week.

Kent has played alongside Morelos at Ibrox for four years and the duo combined to brilliant effect at Signal Iduna Park as Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men gained the upper hand in the tie.

And Kent believes that so long as he can keep fashioning opportunities for his team-mate and drawing out opposition defenders, Morelos can make the most of the space afforded to him. 

"He’s a player you always want to get the ball to in the box," Kent told Rangers TV. "He knows where the goal is.

"If you provide enough chances in a game he’ll come away with one or two goals.

"As attacking players you want to try and get him isolated in the box and if I can draw one or two players out, it leaves him with more space in the box for someone else to provide him with the ball.

"So yeah, that’s Alfredo."
