Connor Goldson 'hasn't heard anything' about new contract
The Rangers defender's deal expires next summer
Last updated 20th Oct 2021
Rangers defender Connor Goldson insists he has no idea what the latest is with his contract situation.
The 28-year old has entered the final year of his Ibrox deal and will be free to talk to other clubs in January if no extension is agreed.
He has been a key player for Steven Gerrard since joining from Brighton in 2018 - and was one of their stars during last season's unbeaten Premiership campaign.
Supporters will be keen to know if Goldson will stay in Glasgow beyond next summer - but the defender says all his focus is on the pitch.
He said: “No, I haven’t heard anything.
"I haven’t really spoken to my agent or the club recently so I couldn’t tell you where it’s at but I’m just focused on the club, playing football and making sure this club wins.
“We’ve got a massive run of games which starts tomorrow. I need to be at my best and the team need to be at our best to win those games.”
Goldson is also urging the club to keep hold of Nathan Patterson as speculation about the future of the Scotland defender resumed.
Everton were reported to have made an unsuccessful £8million bid in the summer for the 20-year-old, who is still vying with Gers captain James Tavernier for the right-back position at Ibrox, while Manchester United were recently linked.
Ahead of Rangers' Europa League clash with Brondby at Ibrox on Thursday, a report emerged claiming that Rafael Benitez could return with a new offer for Patterson in January.
Goldson said: "There is not much advice I can give him. It is his own unique situation he is in and credit to his hard work he has put in over the years.
"All I can say about this football club is Nathan Patterson is the future of it.
"He is an amazing player. Everyone I spoke to about him speaks really highly of him on and off the pitch.
"He wants to learn and I have really enjoyed playing next to him when he has played.
"I think he is the future of this football club and I hope Rangers keep for a long time.
"It is important for him to play games and important for this football club that he is here for many years.
"The Premier League is the biggest league in the world and at some stage in his career he will play at that level but for now and for Rangers, they need to do all they can to keep him here."
