Graeme Murty says contract talks ongoing with Rangers defender David Bates

Glasgow Rangers defender David Bates is out of contract at the Ibrox club at the end of the season, but according to Graeme Murty talks are ongoing with the player over a new deal.

Earlier this week, The Scottish Sun reported that Bates’ future at Ibrox is up in the air as talks with Rangers over a new deal have stalled.

Bates’ current deal expires at the end of the season and it should have been resolved by now. He has featured regularly since Murty took charge of the first-team following the sacking of Pedro Caixinha.
