# Rangers: Rae shares Connor Goldson fears

**Alex Rae has revealed his fears over the future of Glasgow Rangers defender Connor Goldson, who has just one year left on his contract at the club.**

### **The Lowdown: Goldson future up in the air**

Goldson has just 12 months left on his contract ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/profil/spieler/163656)), although the Ibrox outfit are eager to get him signed up to a new three-year deal ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-major-update-on-goldson-future-at-rangers-as-west-ham-swoop/)).

### **The Latest: Rae worried**

[Speaking to The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/alex-rae-celtics-struggles-are-on-a-par-with-where-rangers-were-in-2018-bgmm37jzk), Rae has expressed his fears in regards to centre-back Goldson. He said:

> *“My only concern right now would be Connor Goldson because he’s in the final year of his contract \[and\] this isn’t a business model where they let players run down their contracts. So I’d like to see Goldson signing because he has been outstanding and is a leader.”*

### **The Verdict: Must get it done**

Rae is bang on the money – tying down Goldson to a new deal has to be one of Steven Gerrard’s and Ross Wilson’s priorities this summer. He [played every single minute of every single game](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/163656) last term as the Gers conceded just 13 times ([thefishy.co.uk](https://thefishy.co.uk/leaguetable.php?table=10)) on their way to the Premiership title.

He clearly has a huge impact on the side, and is a player Gerrard clearly relies on. Aged 28, he still has a good few years left in front of him – the Gers cannot afford to let him go, and if they do, it must be after he has signed a new deal in order to strengthen the club’s negotiating position.

Hopefully, the Gers will be able to come to an agreement with the £6.75m-valued ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/marktwertverlauf/spieler/163656)) former Brighton man in the near future.
