Connor Goldson has signed a new deal with Rangers to keep him at Ibrox until 2026.
The defender's old contract expired this summer with rumours circulating that his time at the club could be up.
However, Giovanni van Bronckhorst's side have announced he has agreed a new four-year deal.
The 29-year old has been a key player for Rangers since joining from Brighton in 2018.
He has played 223 times and was a central figure in their Premiership title win under Steven Gerrard and their run to the Europa League final.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst told the club's official website: "I am delighted Connor has agreed to remain a Rangers player, as he has been fantastic for me both on and off the pitch since I arrived.
"His leadership is outstanding, and he is a huge influence on so many players around him, while his consistency of performance means he is someone I can always rely on.
"I am really looking forward to seeing Connor back for pre-season in a couple of weeks and to working with him again next year.
Sporting director Ross Wilson added: "Connor is an important player in our group and we are delighted that following all of our discussions, he has decided to commit his long-term future to Rangers.
"We have a strong relationship with Connor and we were always aware that this decision was a really important one for Connor and his young family, and we were prepared to respect the time for him to make the right decision for all concerned.
"I know how strong his feeling is for Rangers and we look forward to continuing the journey with him. With Connor committing his future and John Souttar also officially joining Rangers today we have assembled a strong defensive unit."
Goldson follows Steven Davis in signing on at Ibrox with the Northern Irishman's future also uncertain towards the end of the last campaign.
Striker Cedric Itten left the club for an undisclosed fee to move back to Switzerland with Young Boys.
