John Souttar: Rangers defender signs new Ibrox deal until May 2027 with club-held option of further 12 months

John Souttar believes Rangers are entering an "exciting time" after he signed a new contract at the club.

The 29-year-old, who was out of contract in the summer, has put pen to paper on a deal until May 2027, with the Ibrox outfit holding the option of a further 12 months.

He has committed his future to the club amid a tense Scottish Premiership title race, with Rangers second in the league, two points behind leaders Hearts and one ahead of Celtic, who have a game in hand.

Off the pitch, a new US ownership group led by chairman Andrew Cavenagh, supported by the 49ers Enterprises, took over in the summer and Souttar feels that stability is helping the club push for their first title in five years.
