Philippe Clement believes James Tavernier and Connor Goldson will still be Rangers players next season despite rumoured interest from Saudi Arabia.
Former Rangers manager Steven Gerrard is reportedly eager to bring two of his old stars to Al-Ettifaq in the summer.
The experienced duo have been almost ever-present for the Light Blues this season, and remain under contract at Ibrox until 2026.
Tavernier, 32, and Goldson, 31, are often scrape goats when things aren't going as planned, yet Clement expects the pair to stay put for the next campaign unless they approach him directly and state they want a move.
“Yes, I expect them to be here next season, that is my expectation,” said Clement. “My players come to speak with me if they have doubts or if they want to go or if they are out of contract. We have that relationship.
“If I need to speak to every player where there is a rumour about, then we won’t train too much.”

John Lundstram is one key star that is out of contract in June, with the midfielders future still uncertain.
Although, Clement is keen for him to extend his time in Govan.
The Belgian boss admitted: “There have been offers from the club, there is no agreement yet. That is the only thing I can say at the moment.
“I hope that (he stays). I know he loves the club and to be here but it depends on what you can offer as a club and what other clubs are offering.
“That is why I don’t like that important players get to the end of their contracts.
“I don’t think it is a good thing for a club. It is something that will never happen again while I am here.”

Leon Balogun, Borna Barisic, Kemar Roofe and Ryan Jack are all expected to depart Rangers at the end of the season.
However, Clement hinted that it's still not too late for them to earn a new deal if they can impress during the remaining games.
“If somebody we could not count on enough in the season but he plays the next six games and he is the best guy on the pitch then it’s silly not to give a contract," he revealed.
“So everything is still possible. It is in their hands.”
