Scott Arfield lifts lid on Rangers future with deal approaching expiry

Scott Arfield has revealed that he would love to chance to return to Falkirk. 

The Rangers midfielder started his career at the Bairns and enjoyed varied success at the now League One club.

Arfield left the Bairns in 2010 and moved to Huddersfield for £400,000 - but the former Canada international would love a return before he walks away from football, whether it be as a player, coach, or manager.

The 34-year-old penned a one-year extension last season to play his fifth campaign with the Gers this term.

With the summer approaching in the next couple of months, he is one of a number of players at Ibrox with contracts expiring.

So while his immediate future remains unclear, Arfield has addressed what he would like to do at some stage.

He told the Scottish Sun: "I loved it and they gave me the chance to live my dream.

"I hope one day, in a playing or managerial capacity, to go back to the club. They gave me a chance as a youngster and I won’t forget that.

"They had no money, so they had to promote youngsters.

"I wish some other teams would go down a similar path. There are a lot of good players in the Scottish game, but they need a chance."

Arfield has made 35 appearances in all competitions so far this campaign, with the majority of those coming off the bench.

He's netted eight goals to date.
