Scott Arfield has revealed he is in talks with Rangers about extending his contract.

The midfielder has linked with moves to Turkey and the US with his current deal running out in the summer.

Manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst recently expressed his desire to keep the Canada international beyond this season.

Arfield has now said the Ibrox side are the only club he wants to be at and hopes to spend 'a number of years' with them.

He said: "They have begun. My agent is talking to the club at the minute.

"This is a club I want to be a part of for a number of years so hopefully we can get an agreement quite quickly.

"I've never said anything different about how happy I am and how grateful I am to play at this football club.

"Hopefully that can get sorted as soon as possible."

Arfield reflected on the 3-0 defeat by Celtic on Wednesday night which saw the two clubs swap places at the top of the table as "a bad night for everybody, we can't sugar coat that" but looked forward to seeing new team mate Aaron Ramsey in action.

The Wales international signed on loan from Juventus until the end of the season and could make his debut at some stage against Hearts.

The two players faced up to each other in the Premier League and Arfield said: "He is a terrific player. When I played against him he caused you enormous problems.

"He was one of the main players at Arsenal that you need to do your research on, you knew he was going to cause you problems and create that opportunity or score that goal from midfield.

"He is a terrific player, he has trained a couple of times, you can see his quality straight away. He will help us enormously."
