Broadfoot calm over future

Fri, 19 Jun 10:20:16 2009

Kirk Broadfoot is confident he will still be a Rangers player next season despite uncertainty over his Ibrox future.

The 24-year-old's agent has been trying to secure an improved deal for the Scotland full-back, whose current contract expires in a year's time and though a new deal has so far not been forthcoming - reportedly due to Rangers' financial problems - he is confident he has not played his last game for the club.

He said: "I get the feeling that I'm wanted here. I've been told that. I don't see me moving in the near future."

Broadfoot had established himself as the first-choice right-back at Ibrox before being sidelined three months ago by a foot injury and is expected to be out until November after undergoing surgery.

"After rehab, hopefully I can get fit and strong enough to push for a starting place again. That's what I'm looking forward to," said Broadfoot, who refused to put a timescale on his recovery but is desperate to play a part in Rangers' Champions League campaign

"It just depends on how quickly and well my rehab goes.

"Every player wants to play in the Champions League and it's great for a club like Rangers to be back in it.

"From a player's point of view, it's the biggest stage you can play at in club football.

"Just now, it's just about resting really. I'm about a month into it - it's three months without any weight bearing.

"After that, my rehab will start but for the moment I'm sitting about, keeping it elevated and keeping myself occupied."

  5. Paul G.....I know this guy personally and he will tell­ you himself that hes the luckiest guy in the world to­ be playing for Rangers...he will also tell you that hes­ a center half but will play anywhere to get a­ game...added to that he believes that he will be out­ till Nov, as the op went wrong and had to be re-done­ and if Whittaker is playing well he will be on the­ bench
