Rangers could make immediate John Souttar announcement amid update
Rangers could look to announce a new contract for John Souttar in October after handing a new one to Dujon Sterling recently.
The Daily Record reported on 1 October that the club were in talks with several players over contract extensions and that Souttar’s announcement is expected shortly.
If that does seem to be the case, negotiations have either come to a mutual conclusion or are close to reaching it, which should not take more than a couple of weeks.
John Souttar must now take his game to the next level at Rangers
Securing a new contract for Souttar is understandable given his growing importance to Gers, particularly after forming a central defensive partnership with Robin Propper.
The Scotland international’s experience and resilience, especially after overcoming significant injuries, make him a valuable asset.
However, with this new commitment, the expectations for Souttar are rightly elevated.
He’s at a juncture where consistency and performance elevation are critical, not just for personal growth but also to bolster the club’s backline.
Robin Propper and John Souttar must bring the best out of each other at Rangers
His partnership with Propper, though showing promise, needs to evolve into a formidable duo that can anchor the team’s aspirations in both domestic and European competitions.
This isn’t just about maintaining form but pushing boundaries, learning from each other and bringing out the best defensive qualities that could define not just the current season but the next few years as well.
Souttar’s next-level challenge is to become a defensive stalwart, inspiring confidence across the squad and fanbase alike.
