Rangers starlet Ryan Hardie has put pen to paper on a two-year extension to his contract with the Ibrox giants.
The young striker has signed a deal which will keep him at Rangers until the summer of 2018, after impressing boss Mark Warburton; his old deal was due to run until next summer.
Hardie is delighted to have committed his future to the Gers and told the club's official site: "It’s a great feeling to sign an extension, it is massive club and I’m looking forward to doing my best here and helping get Rangers back to where it belongs.
"I’m still young, just 18, but it’s nice to know I’m in the manager’s plans and he has liked what he has seen from me so far in training and in games."
And Hardie feels that with his future resolved he can now focus fully on his football and making an impact at Ibrox.
