Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Rice has agreed fresh terms with Rangers in mid‑June and is expected to sign the new contract this week.
- The 19-year-old has had a string of injuries that limited him to very few first‑team appearances and required significant rehabilitation.
- Rangers moved to extend Rice to avoid losing him on a free and to preserve his market value after interest from clubs in the Netherlands, Germany and England.
- Sources say departing manager Danny Rohl held talks that helped secure the agreement and that the change to Derek McInnes as manager did not alter Rice’s decision.
- Securing Rice clears a key piece of Rangers’ summer planning and leaves open options to use pre‑season to restore his fitness or arrange a loan for regular game time.
