Rangers have announced that goalkeeper Robby McCrorie has signed a new contract keeping him at Ibrox until 2023.
The 22-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Livingston and he impressed many with his performances. Fans on Twitter are happy that the shot-stopper is staying for the long term:
Fantastic news and well done Robby

It’s likely that McCrorie will be sent out on loan once again next season so he can gain more first-team experience.
The Light Blues’ decision to sign Jon McLaughlin as back up for Allan McGregor means that McCrorie is unlikely to be given much game time by manager Steven Gerrard.
There will undoubtedly be a number of Premiership clubs interested in making the shot-stopper their number one for the new campaign.
Supporters will be hoping that, if he leaves on a temporary basis, he can then return to Ibrox next summer with an eye on competing for the number one jersey.
