Leon Balogun has penned a contract extension with Rangers, according to a report.
The veteran centre back was due to leave Ibrox when his deal expired on May 31, but it’s now claimed the Nigerian has put pen to paper on a new agreement, which will keep him in Govan until the end of next season.
Balogun spoke after the Scottish Cup Final defeat to Celtic of his desire to remain with the Light Blues, and the 35-year-old has his wish.
He returned for a second Rangers spell last summer, having followed Michael Beale to QPR when the Londoner was appointed as R’s boss.
