Dailly said he was happy to remain at Ibrox

Rangers defender Christian Dailly has agreed in principle to a new one-year deal at Ibrox.

The 34-year-old joined Rangers from West Ham United in January and manager Walter Smith is keen to retain his services for the new campaign.

"I haven't spoken to the chief executive Martin Bain and I haven't signed anything," said Dailly.

"I have spoken to the manager already and we have more or less agreed to do it again next season."

Dailly, who is on international duty with Scotland ahead of the friendly with Czech Republic, made 22 appearances as Rangers won the League Cup and Scottish Cup and reached the final of the Uefa Cup.

The 66-time capped defender also scored twice in the league as the Ibrox club finished second to Celtic in the title race.

Dailly began his professional career with Dundee United before moving to Derby County in 1996 and onto Blackburn Rovers two years later.

He ended a seven-year association at Upton Park when he arrived at Ibrox in the January transfer window and also had a loan spell at Southampton.
