JAMES TAVERNIER has committed his future to Rangers by agreeing a one-year contract extension.

Record Sport revealed on Tuesday that the defender had agreed a new deal at the club and this has finally been confirmed today.

There had been doubts over the defender's future at the club, as well as striker Martyn Waghorn's, after talks with Rangers broke down.

The duo have both spoken about how much they love Glasgow since news broke about their contracts, and Rangers boss Mark Warburton insisted both players were committed to the club following the win over Motherwell.

He said: “There was never any doubt about their commitment. They are two very committed players who had excellent seasons last year, and they are enjoying life.

“We are good for them and they are good for us. Players, just like in any job, want to be happy coming to their work, and they have been fantastic. They have shown their commitment to the club from day one, they contributed 43 goals between them last year, and their attitude throughout has been first class.

“I was disappointed and frustrated reading some of the stories, as the fans get the wrong idea about the players. They have been magnificent, and their devotion to the club has never wavered in any shape or form. I knew what James would say, and I knew what Martyn would say as they are top class professionals who are doing a great job at Rangers."
