Rangers skipper David Weir has signed a new one-year contract for the Ibrox club.
The deal was finally sealed in Belfast on Saturday ahead of the friendly with Linfield in which Weir, 41, captained the side to a 4-1 win.
Weir, whose family still live south of the border, told the club's official website: "It's taken a while but it's good to get it sorted out now."
He added: "I can't think of a better place to play my football. I've obviously got commitments to my family and from that point of view it's not ideal, but football-wise it's a one brainer.
"This is the place I want to play and as long as the manager thinks I can still do a job then I'm happy to sign here.
"The family thing is obviously a consideration but it works well for me at the moment because I have a good balance.
"When I'm in Glasgow I'm focused on the football and doing what I need to the night before games and the likes. Things like rest that I might not get when I'm at home.
"The same is true at home where my full focus can be on my family when I'm there."
