Andy Firth's first Rangers words after signing new deal as keeper commits future

Rangers keeper Andy Firth has signed a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2022.

The goalie hasn't featured for the Ibrox club this season, third choice behind Allan McGregor and Jon McLaughlin.

Despite his lack of first-team action, the 24-year-old reckons his game has come on leaps and bounds as an understudy to the experienced pair.

And Firth is delighted to be staying with Rangers for another year and hopes he can keep improving next season.

Speaking to RangersTV, he said: "Everyone knows how much I love being here. It has been a really special year for us and I am just happy that I can stay here for next season.

“It has been brilliant for me being here and to get the chance to work with Greegsy, he is incredible and to work alongside Jon is great. For me to pick the brains of people who have been there at all different levels and to have Colin Stewart to work with is perfect.

“I have had game time in the B-Team to keep myself fresh but the work in training has been massive for me.

"The fact I am not playing has given me a chance to work on things you sometimes don't get to work on when you are playing so it has definitely helped me a lot and I feel like I am in a good place and hopefully it will continue.”
