Rangers Tie Down John Souttar to 2027 Deal With Option for Extra Year

The extension reinforces Rangers’ defensive planning with several loans and contracts nearing expiry.

Overview

  • Rangers confirmed the 29-year-old centre-back has signed through May 2027, with the club holding an additional 12-month option.
  • Souttar had been due to be out of contract this summer and was free to discuss a pre-contract with other clubs from January 1.
  • The Scotland international said he is delighted to commit his future to Ibrox and called it an exciting time to be at the club.
  • Head coach Danny Röhl welcomed the agreement, stressing the value of retaining leaders and maintaining a Scottish core in the squad.
  • The deal secures one of the few defenders guaranteed for next season as multiple loans expire; Souttar joined from Hearts in 2022 and has over 100 Rangers appearances and 21 Scotland caps.
