Rangers defender John Souttar has agreed a contract until the end of the 2026/27 season with the club holding the option to extend the deal by a further year.

The 29-year-old has made 127 appearances for the Gers since joining from Hearts on a free in 2022.

The Scottish international has been a mainstay under new boss Danny Rohl as the Glasgow club continues their title fight.

Souttar has been rewarded with a new contract until the end of next season. Rangers maintain the option to extend the deal by an extra year.

The centre back will be hoping for a strong end to the season to cement his spot in Steve Clarke’s World Cup squad.

He said: “It is an exciting time to be here and an exciting time to be involved at the club so I am delighted.

“I understand the position I am in, how much of a privilege it is to play here, the demands here and I am personally really happy and excited to know my future is here.”

Head Coach, Danny Röhl, added: “We are delighted John has agreed this new contract with the club.

“Keeping our best players and our leaders is very important to having success going forward, while having a Scottish presence in the squad is also going to be key.

“This is great news for everyone at the club with so much to look forward to between now and the end of the season, and hopefully for John, a World Cup to come at the end of it.”
