Rangers starlet Ross McCausland is reportedly closing in on signing a new contract at Ibrox.

It is understood that broad terms over a new four-year deal have been agreed and there are just some minor details to be ironed out over the coming days as well as the fact that the Rangers board have made the extension their top priority.

McCausland's current contract is up in the summer, and the club appears keen to tie down the 20-year-old long-term.

He recently made his first start for the Light Blues against Livingston before the international break and was subsequently called up to the Northern Ireland squad, where he received his first cap away to Finland.

The Rangers academy graduate has burst onto the scene under new boss Philippe Clement and the Belgian recently expressed his desire to keep the midfielder at the club.

He said: "We are talking with him and I have a good feeling around it. But it needs to be on paper first...I have no idea about that [other clubs interested].

"That's always something for the player and his agent. I've been very clear about Ross, I could have treated the situation in a different way, first let him sign a contract before letting him play or start.

"I didn't do that because I know how important Glasgow Rangers is for us. After his game against Livingston and a good performance, he got the international call.

"That's also because he started the game, so I think we're on the right way. I have total trust it's going to be positive."
