Rangers boss Mark Warburton is confident that the Gers will be able to agree contract extension deals with right-back James Tavernier and striker Martyn Waghorn.
The duo, who were key men in the Gers winning the Scottish Championship title with ease last season and also reaching the final of the Scottish Cup, have knocked back an initial offer put to them by Rangers.
Talks between their representatives and the Ibrox club are continuing, with the pair being under contract with the club until the summer of 2018.
Warburton and his assistant David Weir recently extended their own contracts with Rangers, penning deals until 2019, and the English boss has every confidence that Tavernier and Waghorn will also eventually put pen to paper.
The former Brentford boss feels the pair are settled in Glasgow and committed to the club for the long haul, which means they will sign new deals.
