54andcounting 627 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 OLD FIRM HERO ALUKO WILL GET NEW CONTRACTOld Firm hero Sone AlukoTuesday March 27,2012By Scott BurnsRANGERS boss Ally McCoist will make a new contract for Old Firm hero Sone Aluko his priority - as soon as the club is bought-over.The Nigerian international put on a man-of-the-match display in the 3-2 win over Celtic and McCoist is desperate to extend his current deal beyond the summer.Aluko, initially, signed a short-term contract at the end of last year although Rangers have an option in place to extend the arrangement for another two years.The current deal would see the former Birmingham youngster double his current wage - although he would still be well down the Ibrox earning order.The 23-year-old has also taken a cut, along with the rest of the Rangers first-team, to bail the administrators out and avoid any cuts before the summer.McCoist knows that Aluko's value is increasing with every game and so will the interest unless he can get the former Aberdeen star tied up.I enjoyed the match and I thought, as a team, we performed very wellRangers' Sone AlukoThe Ibrox boss is hopeful his club will be taken out of administration over the coming weeks as Duff and Phelps look to cut the shortlist of registered buyers from five to three.Aluko was just delighted to set the ball rolling, with the opening goal, in a win that denied Celtic the title.He said: "It was a nice feeling to score in an Old Firm game. "I wanted to make a positive impact. I just picked the ball up and ran at their defence, like I try to do in every game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delparlane 5,639 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Just as it should be - Sone should be top priority once we get back on a solid footing; one of the best signings we've made in ages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
