Rangers attacking midfielder Niko Kranjcar has suggested to The Daily Record that he plans to remain at the club next season.
Kranjcar joined Scottish Premiership giants Rangers in the summer of 2016 on a two-year contract, as reported by BBC Sport.
The former Tottenham Hotspur man has made only a handful of appearances for the Gers this season, having missed most of the campaign with cruciate knee ligament injury.
According to odds on Betvictor.com, the Croatian midfielder is 2/1 to join Birmingham City in the Championship in England in the summer transfer window.

Kranjcar, though, has suggested that he wants to remain at Ibrox for the 2017-18 campaign.
“So far everything has gone according to the plan we set out after the operation,” Kranjcar told The Daily Record. “I can honestly say I have never worked so hard to get back in shape.
“I understood it’s a difficult injury and I’m not that young any more, so it would take a lot of hard work to get back to playing shape.
“I am happy with my current status and hopefully I’ll be ready to go 100 per cent when we start with preparation for the new season.”
Kranjcar may be 32 years of age now, but he remains a very good and creative midfielder. If the former Spurs star had not been injured, then he could have a massive impact at Rangers.
Rangers manager Pedro Caixinha should give the midfielder a chance to show what he is capable of and should not sell him in the summer.
