A trio of Rangers players are set to follow Steven Gerrard by signing new contracts with the club this week, STV has learned.

Steven Davis, Jermain Defoe and Allan McGregor have been in discussions over extending their stay at Ibrox and all three are set to be confirmed on new deals in the coming days.

Davis - who missed the League Cup final defeat to Celtic due to injury - rejoined the club in January, initially on a six-month loan deal from Southampton summer before making the move permanent.

The Northern Irishman's existing contract is due to expire next summer. The midfielder has impressed under Gerrard and has arguably been one of Rangers' best performers this season.

Defoe made the move from Bournemouth on an 18-month loan deal in January. With the former England striker now in the last six months of his contract, Rangers have made an offer for him to sign permanently in the summer and STV understands the 37-year-old will sign a new one year contract on a Bosman deal. There had been suggestions the striker would agree a player/coach role, but this is not the case.

Allan McGregor has also earned a new contract. We've learned the goalkeeper has triggered an extension based on the number of first team games he's made since rejoining Rangers in the summer of 2018.

STV revealed last week that Steven Gerrrad has agreed terms to a new contract, which will commit him to the club until the summer of 2024. Rangers have rewarded the 39- year-old after guiding the club to the Europa League group stage for two successive seasons and becoming genuine title challengers to Celtic.

 
Fantastic news. 3 absolute class winners who will only be more determined to right some wrongs after the heartbreak of Sunday.

Love the 3 of them.
 
Sounds good but I hope they’re on low wages
I’d have given JD until December 2020, unless it was a coaching role.
 
His contract expires at the end of the season. He wouldn't be getting 100k a week from anyone.
Of course not but he could easily go elsewhere and get 40-50k a week. I Like the loyalty and love the man has for us, that he'd rather be here on a lesser wage. Doesn't really need the money as he'd be making 5.2 million a year for many years, but still not many players would do that drop.
 
Great guys to have around the club, even when their bodies eventually catch up with them, they’ll still have a massive influence over the younger players.
