Connor Goldson doesn’t want to hear from his agent about a new contract with Rangers unless it’s a done deal.
The defender is in the final year of his deal at Ibrox and as things stand, he can speak to other clubs from January and leave for nothing next summer.
Steven Gerrard will be keen to avoid just that scenario, and discussions have been underway between the Premiership champions and Goldson ’s agent.
And while the 28-year-old is open to remaining in Govan beyond the end of the current campaign, he doesn’t want distracted with talk of new deals as he focuses on helping the Gers defend their title.
"I obviously don't deal with it, my representatives and Rangers are talking,” he told Sky Sports. “I have had a few conversations with the gaffer and Ross Wilson over the last couple of months.
"We are all speaking, we are all talking regularly but as of now there are a lot of games and I am just trying to concentrate on football.
"I am just trying to concentrate on helping Rangers win.
"I am open to it (staying long term with Rangers), the talks are ongoing. My representatives wouldn't be talking if I wasn't open to it.
"Hopefully something can get done, hopefully it can move forward. But I have told my agent I don't want to hear about it until something does get done."
