CLINT Hill, the Rangers centre half who is out of contract this summer, last night admitted he would like to remain at Ibrox for at least another season.

The 38-year-old, who joined on a free transfer last year after leaving Queens Park Rangers, has been one of the Ladbrokes Premiership club’s better performers in what has been a difficult season.

The highlight of the defender’s campaign was undoubtedly the late equaliser which he scored in a 1-1 draw with Celtic at Parkhead back in March.

Pedro Caixinha, the Rangers manager, will inform each of his players if he wants to keep them next week and Hill is hoping he will be kept on.

“There’s been no indication from the manager about my situation yet, but he’s made it clear that he’ll be telling people next week whether or not they have a future here,” he said. “Hopefully, I’ll be the first one called into his office.

“It’s been difficult for us as a team this year because we haven’t reached the high standards we tried to set and we’ve been far too inconsistent to achieve anything.

“But, from a personal perspective, it’s been a great experience to live in this kind of atmosphere with such a big club. It’s been a great honour for me. I will take a lot of positives away with me when I leave.

“I would love to stay. It is hard because it is up to one man really and only he can answer the question. Hopefully this time next week I can give you a better answer.

“It has been that way for a few years so I am used to it. I am quite relaxed about it, or as relaxed as you can be. I was settled down south but for six years I was in the same situation. I have experienced how it goes.

“All my family are there and my three kids are in school. They have enjoyed their time up here and have made great friends. They will be sad to say goodbye but that is life as a footballer and you never know where you are going to go.

“Hopefully it gives us a bit of time and next week we can make a decision and see where it takes us. We have a bit of time to adapt to the situation.”
