Rangers provide contract update on Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent

GIOVANNI VAN BRONCKHORST has provided an update on the futures of both Alfredo Morelos and Ryan Kent.

The Ibrox pair are running out of their current contracts and will be available to leave Glasgow next summer if they desire. 

Both Kent and Morelos will be able to sign pre-contracts with other clubs in January, so business will need to be concluded soon if they are to remain with Rangers.

Asked about their futures and whether he would like to get negotiations concluded, Giovanni van Bronckhorst said: "As a manager, yes. It's up to the players and club.

"Ross Wilson is busy talking and negotiating and that's the steps we go through."

Meanwhile, Leon King may have found himself a regular feature of the Rangers defence due to injuries but he is determined to make his mark.

The 18-year-old has made most of his appearances for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side this season off the bench as he learns the ropes but is set for an extended run in the side following the injury to Connor Goldson.

He said: “It is a massive opportunity but it is up to me to take that opportunity.

“The boss has shown he can play players in different positions as well so it is up to me to take that opportunity and grasp it with both hands.

“Obviously I wish Connor a speedy recovery – as well as Filip and John – and I will keep his (Goldson) place warm for him.

“He is still here, he is still around the training ground so it will be massive to get some pointers and tips from him every day.

“I just see this as the start. Being a young player and getting thrown into the first team at such a young age, you see Adam (Devine), Charlie (McCann) and Alex (Lowry) getting their chance, so being a Rangers fan as well, it is amazing.”
