Allan McGregor, Steven Davis and Leon Balogun to hold talks over new Rangers deal in coming days
Rangers are set to hold fresh talks with Allan McGregor, Leon Balogun and Steven Davis in the coming days over contract extensions, according to the Daily Record.
The experienced trio are all set to see their contracts at Ibrox expire next month, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst refusing to commit either way on a new deal during the season.
But a new report claims that sporting director Ross Wilson will sit down with Nigerian international defender Balogun and veteran midfielder Davis this week to discuss their future.
Balogun has got the option of an extra 12 months on his current deal and it could be a case of formalities before triggering it, while 37-year-old Davis has attracted interest from Motherwell and St Mirren should he leave the club.
As for McGregor, the 40-year-old seemed to be given a farewell in the Scottish Cup final as a late substitute but has asked for some time before making a decision on his future.
The club are keen for him to stay on but are leaving the decision down to him, with conversations planned for later in the summer.
Huge
There has been plenty of talk among fans and pundits about the future of their squad with so many players out of contract over the next 12 months, but maybe there was a plan all along?
Balogun played 120 minutes of the cup final, while Davis made more appearances in the run-in than he did at any other point in the season after dealing with injury problems.
The manager clearly relied on their experience in difficult times and may have a place for them in the squad next season, even if it means their playing time is greatly reduced from this season.
As for McGregor, he is the number one at the club and his absence will be a huge blow for the club, so they will no doubt be trying to convince him to play on.
He showed he still has the ability and quality to perform at the highest level even despite his age, and it would be one less position to worry about during the transfer window if he decides to continue.
