Borna Barisic in Rangers transfer clue as he takes defiant stance ahead of Ibrox rebuild

Defender Borna Barisic has move to cool speculation over his Rangers future as he pledged to return to Ibrox next season.

The Croatian international has been linked with Roma and Watford in recent transfer windows but has been a key figure again this term for Rangers.

The full-back came through a rocky spell to reclaim his place in Gio van Bronckhorst 's starting line-up.

But it looks set to be a summer of change in Govan with a number of first-team regulars nearing the end of their deals.

Allan McGregor, Steven Davis, Leon Balogun and Connor Goldson will all become free agents this summer, while the likes of Alfredo Morelos are out of contract in the summer of 2023.

While Barisic has a deal until 2024, a tempting offer could see the left-back sold to make way for Van Bronckhorst's revamp.

However, he was keen to share a message with of commitment in his post-season debrief as he reflected on the Scottish Cup and Europa League finals.

He posted to Instagram: "Two very different feelings in last four days of the season but at the end I'm very happy and proud of our team," he said in an Instagram post.

"Congratulations to every player for Saturday 120min Final.

"See you next season everyone and thank you for your support".
