Steven Gerrard 'confident' Connor Goldson will sign new Rangers deal
The defender is entering the final year of his contract
Steven Gerrard says he is confident Connor Goldson will commit his future to Rangers - but admits they're in no rush to get it over the line.
The defender has been a key figure for the Ibrox side since arriving in 2018 and played every single minute of every game last campaign.
The 28-year old is now entering the final year of his contract with Gerrard saying talks are underway about a new deal.
The Rangers boss told Sky Sports: “I’ve got a fantastic personal relationship with Connor. I brought him up here three years ago and he’s done an incredible job. He’s got stronger and stronger each season.
“He’s very comfortable here, he’s a big leader. We’ve given him big responsibility making him vice-captain of this football club.
“He’s very settled and talks are ongoing. I’m confident we can get it to where we need to get it.
“But at the same time, we will respect Connor’s space. There’s no need to rush.
“We’ve got that strong personal relationship, his advisers are in touch with the club and things are moving forward.
“Hopefully sooner rather than later we can get him tied down because he’s very important to the team, the club and to me personally because he’s robust, he’s a top player and a leader.
“As a manager, those are the type of players you need to rely on.”
