Rangers captain James Tavernier has signed a new long-term contract with the club.
His old deal was set to expire in 2024 but he has now committed his long term future to Rangers.
Tavernier signed for the club in 2015 and has made 353 appearances, scoring 85 goals.
The 30-year-old is the only player in the squad who featured in the lower divisions.
He was named captain four years ago by then manager Steven Gerrard.
He has lifted the 2020-2021 Scottish Premiership title and the 2022 Scottish Cup.
Tavernier was also crucial in the club's run to last season's Europa League final and he was named in the UEFA Team of the Tournament.
Tavernier told Rangers TV: "I just want to spend more years here and have that security.
"It is such a great place to play football and I can’t wait to see what the coming years have to bring.
"I am settled here, my family are settled here, so it was a no-brainer to get the contact extension over the line."
