Kyle Hutton vows to stay at Rangers

By Robert Summerscales, Reporter | 27 June 2012

Midfielder Kyle Hutton says that Rangers are still an "extremely attractive team for people to play for" and he confirms that he intends to stay with the club whatever league they are in next season.

Kyle Hutton has become the third player to pledge his future to newco Rangers.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who spent most of last season out on loan with Dunfermline Athletic and Partick Thistle, has followed the example set by Lee Wallace and Lee McCulloch in agreeing to transfer his contract to Charles Green's Sevco company.

"With the other players that are leaving, I look upon what has happened as something which presents me with a chance to play more games for the club," Hutton told the club's official website. "Like everyone else in the first-team squad, I've had a good long, hard think about the situation.

"As sad as everything which has been going on is, this is still Rangers we are talking about and it's an extremely attractive team for people to play for. For me, it is in my best interests to stay where I am and to try to establish myself in the side next season.

"I'm still a young player who is learning his trade and hopefully I've got a long career ahead of me so this is a great place for me to keep learning."

Steven Davis, Allan McGregor, Kyle Lafferty, Jamie Ness, Steven Naismith, Steven Whittaker, Sone Aluko and Rhys McCabe have all refused to transfer their contracts and are looking to continue their careers elsewhere.
