Michael Beale 'deals in' Rangers kid as youngster agrees contract extension at Ibrox

Rangers have agreed a new deal with Aaron Lyall, according to a report.

Michael Beale handed the youngster his top team debut in the final stages of the win over Hibs at Easter Road and he will be hoping to add further appearances against Hearts and St Mirren this week before looking to impress over pre-season.

He had an impressive campaign in the Lowland League with the B team and was named both Academy Player of the Year and B team Players' Player of the Year after a solid campaign for the Ibrox youth side. That form has been rewarded with the Daily Record reporting he has penned a one yer extension in Govan.

Speaking after the win over Hibs, Beale said: "I think the mentality of the group has been excellent, certainly the seniors. We're missing 12 or 13 players today and you're coming here and Hibs are in good form, fighting for Europe.

"But I thought we were the dominant team throughout, we nullified their threats and I think (Kevin) Nisbet and (Elie) Youan are good players, certainly on the counter.

"We had strong performances throughout, I think John Souttar was absolutely fantastic alongside young Leon. Leon has started to show that aggression to add to his good football ability and that's a step in the right direction for him as well."

Rangers are due to announce who will be departing the club in the summer later today while Beale teased a new arrival ahead of the Wednesday night clash with Hearts at Ibrox.
