Broadfoot calm over Gers future
Scotland full-back Broadfoot has just returned from nine months out injured, during which time his and a number of his team-mate's deals have been allowed to wind down.[LNB]The 25-year-old wants to extend his contract but, despite confirming Rangers chief executive Martin Bain had touched base with his agent, there has been no progress on that front.[LNB]"It's not affecting me at all because the main thing was to get myself back playing and get fit," said Broadfoot, who made his comeback in last weekend's 3-0 win over St Johnstone.[LNB]"I've only played two games; it's only been a week.[LNB]"It's not as though I've been playing now for months.[LNB]"I'm sure that'll come around and, when it does, we'll see what happens."[LNB]He added: "Martin Bain's contacted my agent.[LNB]"I think that's an indication that the manager would like me to stay.[LNB]"I'd like to stay here but who knows what will happen.[LNB]"Obviously, you want your future sorted out.[LNB]"In football, you never know what's round the corner but I'm just happy being back playing."[LNB]Broadfoot joined Rangers from St Mirren after signing a pre-contract in January 2007.[LNB]Asked if he would consider something similar next month, he said: "Obviously if it comes to the stage where I have to sort my career out, I'll have to speak to other teams.[LNB]"But, right now, I'm more concentrated on getting a run of first-team games for Rangers."[LNB]With Rangers facing a busy festive fixture programme, Broadfoot could be forgiven for wanting a breather having been sidelined for so long.[LNB]But he said: "I've rested now for nine months, so I'm fresh and ready to play.[LNB]"I don't think you'll get any harder games than Dundee United away midweek after your first game at the weekend.[LNB]"I came through that so I don't see why I shouldn't be able to play in many more games."[LNB]With Madjid Bougherra set to absent on Algeria duty at the African Nations Cup during January, Broadfoot could be asked to fill in at centre-half.[LNB]It is something he has done before during his Ibrox career and he said: "I'll play anywhere the manager wants me to play.[LNB]"Obviously when Madjid goes, he's got a decision over whether he puts me centre-half, or Danny (Wilson), or even Lee McCulloch.[LNB]"It's a busy time of the year and I'm sure everyone will get used at some point."[LNB][LNB]
