YOUNG midfielder commits himself to Gers until summer of 2015
By Andrew Dickson
RHYS McCABE has put pen to paper on a contract extension which will keep him at the club until the end of the 2014/15 season.
The 19-year-old made his first-team debut in the 2-0 friendly win over Blackpool at Bloomfield Road back in July.
And after making a real impression on manager Ally McCoist, he has also featured against the likes of Liverpool and Hamburg and been on the bench for a number of SPL games.
McCabe is someone the management rate highly and despite his size, he makes up for it with many of the attributes shown over the last couple of seasons by Steven Naismith.
And having made a real impact over the last few months having played for the under-19s last term, he is now set to stay at Ibrox and Murray Park for the next three and a half years.

McCOIST keen to hand Maurice extended stay with the champions
ALLY McCOIST has revealed he has opened talks with Maurice Edu's representative aimed at extending the midfielder's stay at Rangers.
The American has been one of the Light Blues' most consistent players this season after a disappointing few months towards the end of last term.
At one point the former Toronto star had seemed set to move on and Blackburn Rovers were linked with a move for him over the summer.
But Edu was determined to fight for his Ibrox future and he has shown improvement in recent weeks as Gers have stayed clear at the top of the SPL table.
The 25-year-old moved to Glasgow in 2008 and penned a five-year contract, of which he has 18 months remaining.
McCoist is keen to fend off any potential suitors and has consequently begun talks in a bid to secure the USA international for the foreseeable future.
The manager said: "We've spoken to Lyle Yorks, a smashing lad who represents Maurice, about keeping him here.
"It has been well documented that we are looking at keeping Kyle Lafferty here and like him, Maurice has 18 months to go on his current deal.
"It is common knowledge you have to make it be known that you want to extend deals at this stage and that's where we are with both of those players at the moment.
"I think Maurice's form in the last three or four games has been really, really encouraging and he has certainly been one of the better players in the team.
"He's one of these guys who doesn't always catch the eye but if you ask his team-mates about him, they'll say he always gives performances that are helpful to the side.
"We've been very pleased with him. The one thing Maurice does do is work extremely hard - he's a real grafter and a workaholic. That's a massive part of his game."
