'Not an asset anymore' - Scott Arfield details Rangers contract scenario

Scott Arfield has revealed he's not yet in talks over a new Rangers deal - but insists he'd love to extend his stay at Ibrox.

The midfielder is set to be out of contract in the summer but is hopeful of remaining at the club past the end of the season.

However, he was candid as he admitted there are "bigger assets at this club" as he claimed any talks over a new contract would be "down the road".

Asked if he'd like to remain at the club past his current deal, he said: "I'd love to stay here for as long as possible.

"Whether that be in any capacity. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here since I walked through the door and I want to keep those moments going."

Further quizzed on his contract scenario, Arfield said talks hadn't yet started as he stated "you're not as asset anymore" after claiming talks stop after turning 30.

"No, not at the minute. When you get over 30, they talks stop," he said with a smirk in response to the contract poser.

"That's just football and that's just life. You take it day by day and if you get the opportunity that works for everybody, then you're more than happy to stay.

"It'll be down the road. You're not an asset anymore.

"There's bigger assets at this club. You need to stay in your lane and know where you are at this minute in time.

"I have no problem with that."
