Rangers are set to offer winger Ryan Kent a new contract worth an estimated £6m, according to reports in the English media.
The Gers are keen to reward the 24-year-old for his fine form this season, and they are said to be prepared to hand him a wage which could see him earn £30,000 a week deal over four years.
Supporters on Twitter are very much behind Kent getting a pay rise, following his excellent performances for Steven Gerrard’s side during the first few months of the campaign:

Kent’s current contract expires in 2023 so it looks as though the club will also seek to extend his stay for a further year, in addition to the pay increase.
The former Liverpool winger has put in some superb displays in recent weeks, having scored six goals and contributed seven assists in 20 appearances for the Light Blues.
Signing Kent up to a new deal should also ward off any potential suitors with English Premier League side Leeds having expressed their interest in the summer.
