Connor Goldson admits Rangers winning addiction as he makes title vow after signing new contract

Connor Goldson insists he’s ready to lead Rangers in their fight to wrestle the title back from Celtic after admitting he couldn’t give up that winning feeling at Ibrox.

The defender penned a new four-year deal at the Light Blues despite the chance to cash in on the fact he was available on a free transfer.

Goldson has grown into one of the senior figures in the Rangers dressing room and the vice-captain said that status as one of the squad’s leaders is important to him.

It’s also vital to boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst as Goldson admitted the Dutchman made a last-ditch plea for him to stay following the Scottish Cup win over Hearts at Hampden last month.

And now Goldson is sticking around until 2026, the 29-year-old said his first aim is to make sure they are champions of Scotland again after surrendering their crown last season.

The former Brighton man said: “I’ve got used to winning games most weeks and I love that feeling.

“I want to keep on winning, I want to keep on trying to take this football club to the next level.

“I said last year that I wanted to stay and try and win 56 and 57. That was a massive part of me committing to the football club.

“We obviously lost the league this year and we need to go and win it back next year. It is an exciting time for this football club. Over the last two years we have really shown what we’re capable of.

“But as I said before, we now need to go and replicate that on a year-on-year basis. I think with the group of players we’ve got at the moment, there’s no reason why we can’t.

“That was the reason why I’ve ended up staying. I want to stay here and win. I want to stay here and win as many pieces of silverware as I can.
