Leon Balogun has opened up on his future with his Rangers contract into its final few weeks.
The central defender, who has played regularly under interim boss Barry Ferguson, faces an uncertain time as he waits to find out if he will get a new deal.
The Nigerian centre-back is 36 and will turn 37 next month and won't have many more deals left in him.
Contract talks have been placed on hold with the club prioritising the new manager hunt and it means Balogun heads into the final two matches of the season not knowing what the future holds.
As he hopes for fresh terms to be offered, he admits all he can do is get on with the job at hand.
“I think I have no choice,” Balogun said.
“I'm very blessed that my father, from a young age taught me the value of patience. So, I'm just going to have patience as always, as I've had all my life, with many things and then I just have to see what's happening.
“It's hard to say [when I will know], because it's not in my control. I don't know what stage the whole thing is.
“I mean, they're on the search for a manager, I don't really know, so it's not my business really, until it becomes mine, hopefully. I don't know if there are any deadlines, I can't say. I would tell you, but I can't."
On whether Wednesday's nights home game against Dundee United could be his last at Ibrox, he added: “I try not to think about it too much. I'm quite relaxed, to be honest, but maybe that's just who I am.
“I can be very, very emotional, but I will keep that for the moment where I have certainty, which I don't have at the moment.
“[My future] It's written in the stars, so I'll trust the big man upstairs … and some people up here in the club, so we'll see!”
In his late 30s, some could point to his age as an argument against handing out a new deal and keeping him as a regular fixture in the team.
But Balogun added: “Without trying to sound arrogant, age is nothing but a number.
“I've looked after myself throughout my whole career pretty well, I'd like to think, which is the reason why I can still perform at this level.
“If I felt that I was starting to really struggle, I would admit it, but I absolutely do not feel that way.”
