Is Rangers stalwart next in line for a new deal?

With the recent news David Bates is set to earn himself a well deserved significant contract extension following some stellar displays the past month and confirmed extensions for both of the McCrorie brothers, one of the comments on the site made a very valid observation;

With Danny Wilson’s deal also only having five months to run, why on earth has the 26-year old stopper not similarly been offered a new contract?

David Bates, signed last winter for 18 months, will see his current contract expire this June, and Rangers bosses have been quick to offer the consistently-improving young defender a new deal – and yet Danny Wilson, who has been one of the side’s most solid players since Murty took charge late last year, appears not to have been offered a thing?

We find this a little odd and hope it is a case of nothing having materialised yet – it appears both Bruno Alves and Fabio Cardoso will leave this month, and Alves certainly will not be available for selection any time soon, leaving Rangers’ options currently as Wilson with those five months left, Bates with his extension, technically McCrorie with his, and incoming utility man Sean Goss.

So it seems prudent to tie Wilson down to an extension – but as yet, nothing is forthcoming.

He is one to hold onto – he is our most experienced CB (Alves notwithstanding) and has courted much more respect in recent months. He probably will never be our most popular player but he has shown excellent form of late – with his deal expiring soon he deserves a new one as much as anyone.

Let us hope he gets it.
