# Rangers: Stewart Robertson hopeful that Connor Goldson will stay

**Rangers remain in talks with Connor Goldson over the possibility of a new contract, the club’s managing director Stewart Robertson has told [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/30778/12542073/rangers-administration-steven-gerrard-impact-selling-nathan-patterson-stewart-robertson-discusses-clubs-journey).**

### The lowdown

The 29-year-old, who featured in the [2020/21 Premiership Team of the Season](https://spfl.co.uk/news/premiership-team-of-the-season-202021) after putting together a [‘virtually perfect’](https://twitter.com/JordanC1107/status/1397814838110339073) campaign to help Rangers end their Glasgow rivals’ run of nine consecutive league titles, could be into the final months of his Ibrox career.

His [£27,000-per-week](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/rangers/) deal is [up at the end of May](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/connor-goldson/profil/spieler/163656), and The Athletic’s Jordan Campbell [wrote recently](https://theathletic.com/3109277/2022/02/04/rangers-have-stood-still-in-the-transfer-market-will-it-cost-them-in-title-race-with-celtic/) that the defender is expected to leave, along with fellow out-of-contract duo Allan McGregor and Steven Davis.

### The latest

Robertson has said that decisions will be made on the Rangers trio in the next few months, but dialogue with all three players is continuing.

Speaking to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/30778/12542073/rangers-administration-steven-gerrard-impact-selling-nathan-patterson-stewart-robertson-discusses-clubs-journey) about Goldson, the Ibrox chief said: “We’re not resigned to losing him. I know Ross \[Wilson, sporting director\] is having regular conversations with all the players whose contracts are expiring in the summer and that’s something that will be addressed in the coming months.”

### The verdict

Perhaps the key to Goldson’s future lies in Rangers’ fortunes for the rest of the season.

A recent report from [The Scottish Daily Express](https://www.scottishdailyexpress.co.uk/sport/football/connor-goldson-rangers-future-examined-26030011) suggested that winning the Premiership, and potentially securing the £35m bonus which comes from Champions League group stage qualification, could be a game-changer. That may enable Rangers to award the centre-back the kind of lucrative new deal he’s perhaps demanding.

It’s worth noting, however, that the situation is different with McGregor and Davis – at the ages of 40 and 37 respectively, they won’t be far off retirement.
