Veteran defender David Weir will play on with Rangers for another season after agreeing a new 12-month contract with the Scottish Premier League champions.

Weir, 40, who was named the top-flight's player of the year last season, has agreed a new one-year contract which will see him complete four campaigns at Ibrox.

"I'm delighted to announce that Davie Weir will be with us again next season," chief executive Martin Bain told the club's official website.

"We were always hopeful that he would agree to play in the 2010/11 campaign and we have now concluded a deal to that effect.

"It's great news for everyone because there is no doubting his importance to the team and his influence on those around him.

"Davie's professionalism and leadership qualities make him a superb role model and there is little doubt that he has become a great Rangers captain.

"He did not miss a minute of our Championship campaign last season which is testimony to the terrific condition he keeps himself in."
