Rangers legend Richard Gough warns club and Connor Goldson over contract stalemate

Rangers legend Richard Gough has warned Connor Goldson he won’t play for a bigger club in Britain than the one he currently turns out for week-in, week-out.

And weighing in to the other side of the ongoing contract stalemate, former central defender Gough has warned Rangers they might need to shell out £8m to replace the Englishman if he leaves this summer.

Goldson has savoured the scenes at the end of matches recently, pausing to reflect infront of the celebrating fans at the end of extra-time victories over both SC Braga in the UEFA Europa League and Sunday’s Scottish Cup semi-final against Celtic at Hampden.

The defender has yet to sign an extension on his Ibrox contract which expires this summer. Gough says the defender will never have it as good – but Rangers will have to go some way to finding another defender in the same reliable mould.

"Connor knows himself that he won't play for a bigger club in Britain. He might get more money but he won't play at a club where he has to win every game. It's a constant pressure and there's nothing like it.

"He'll have seen that on Sunday. He'll know that if he goes, he's not going to play in the semi final of a European competition again.
