KIRK BROADFOOT is confident he will still be a Rangers player next season despite uncertainty over his Ibrox future.
The 24-year-old's agent has been trying to secure an improved deal for the Scotland full-back, whose current contract expires in a year's time.
Broadfoot had established himself as the first-choice right-back at Ibrox before being sidelined three
months ago by a foot injury. And though a new deal has so far not been forthcoming – reportedly due to Rangers' financial problems – he is confident he has not played his last game for the club.
He said: "I get the feeling that I'm wanted here. I've been told that. I don't see me moving in the near future."
Broadfoot is expected to be out until November after undergoing foot surgery.
"After rehab, hopefully I can get fit and strong enough to push for a starting place again. That's what I'm looking forward to," said Broadfoot, who refused to put a timescale on his recovery but is desperate to play a part in Rangers' Champions League campaign
"It just depends on how quickly and well my rehab goes. Every player wants to play in the Champions League and it's great for a club like Rangers to be back in it. From a player's point of view, it's the biggest stage you can play at in club football.
"Just now, it's just about resting really."
