Filip Helander may have plenty of time left on his Rangers deal but the defender has already mapped out his retirement plans.
The Swedish defender aims to return home before his career ends to play for his favourite side Malmö.
Helander, 27, has impressed during his time at Ibrox so far, making 33 appearances in all competitions since his switch from Bologna in 2019.
But the centre-half admits a dream of his has been to return home to finish off his playing career alongside old pal and Brentford captain Pontus Jansson.
Speaking to Swedish outlet Expressen the player said: “I don't think so much about the future. Two and a half years is a very long time.
“Anything can happen in football, but I feel good and it's always easier when a team is doing well. The hope for me is to be able to end my career in Malmo. I have talked to Pontus Jansson at Brentford about us doing it together.
"Hopefully, I can play football for quite some time and that there is time for me to play again in the Allsvenskan as well."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
