Intelligence might well be less useful than raw pace and a trick or two in Scotland. Kent isn't cerebral, but his attributes means he repeatedly gets behind the opposition. In a league in which players get away with a lot more physicality, and in which time on the ball is negligible, you often need more than being clever, especially when you're not surrounded by clever tippy-tappy players. He hasn't done well in league 1 (the kind of division that compares with the SPL for much of the league) on about 3 occasions and in fact, he has completely bombed. I expect the same again. He'd probably do well on loan in a Spanish league 1 side or something.
