Rangers head coach Danny Rohl has issued an update on talks over a new contract for central defender John Souttar.
It comes after the Ibrox side defeated St Mirren by two goals to one this evening.
Souttar made his first Rangers start since the beginning of November as he got the nod at the heart of the backline. He was brought off with 10 minutes to go.
The 29-year-old's current deal in Govan is due to expire at the end of the season.

Rohl was asked about the situation after beating St Mirren and revealed that talks are ongoing.
He said: "John did well. It was also not easy to sub him out, but it was again, I have to protect him for a new injury.
"It's always not easy, but I think he showed good quality in building up, but also against the ball, very strong.
"We are in talks, we are clear what we want to do with him and let's see now in which direction it goes. But I am very positive and hopefully more players are back for the next game."
Rangers return to action on Saturday as they travel to face Celtic. Wilfried Nancy's men were beaten 2-0 by Motherwell at Fir Park tonight.
