In quotes relayed by Daily Record, Balogun stated : "Everyone who watches me around the club knows I’ve fallen in love with this club.

"What I said about getting knocked down and getting back up – that’s something I’ve had in my career.

"I’ve had a lot of downs in my career. That’s why me and Rangers are a good fit.

"Even in the final, I had to go through this and the support was outstanding.

"I would love to stay. I hope they know that and I hope I can announce something soon."
