Rangers defender Leon Balogun has signed a contract extension until the summer of 2022.
The Nigeria international's deal was due to run out in the summer - but he has now put pen to paper to keep him at Ibrox for another season.
The 32-year old joined the club from Wigan at the start of the campaign and has gone on to make 28 appearances in all competitons.
Speaking to the club's official website, Balogun said: “Today is a very happy day and a very proud day announcing my contract has been extended for another year.
“I am proud to be a part of this amazing club and I felt that pretty early on I had fallen in love with the club and the working environment, the way the players and the management staff work and the way the club is a big family, I am happy and proud that I can call myself a Rangers player.
“I am happy to be a part of the team that won the league, but what we have been saying recently is we are just getting started and I am happy that I can be a part of this. I said a few weeks in to one of my family, I wish I had been at a club and an environment like this early-on in my career.
“I am very, very happy and proud that this can now be announced. One thing too, I was never going to leave before witnessing a full Ibrox Stadium, and if everyone was happy, I was going to stay.”
