David Weir intends to carry on playing next season even if he is not offered a new contract at Rangers.
Defender waiting to learn if he will be offered new Rangers deal
Veteran defender David Weir has confirmed he intends to carry on playing next season even if he is not offered a new contract at Rangers.
Weir, who turned 41 last week, has been a virtual ever-present for Gers this season during the club's successful defence of the SPL title.
His current deal at Ibrox expires in the summer and he is waiting to learn if he is still wanted after Ally McCoist replaced Walter Smith as manager and Craig Whyte completed his takeover.
"I will definitely be playing on somewhere," Weir told the Scottish Daily Express.
Different ideas
"I have played something like 50-odd games for Rangers this season and I don't think I could suddenly go from that to not playing at all.
"I will decide what I am going to do over the next week or two. I will keep my options open.
"I don't know what will happen now. I can't sit here and say I definitely want to stay at Rangers because circumstances at the club have changed.
"The club has a new owner and a new manager. They might have different ideas. I will just have to wait and see what happens.
"I want to go into coaching or management at some point but for the moment I would prefer to concentrate on playing."
