Twin brothers Ross and Robby McCrorie have signed new four-and-a-half year deals with Rangers.
The 19-year-olds, both graduates of the Rangers academy, are now tied to the Scottish Premiership club until at least the summer of 2022.

Ross McCrorie has proved a versatile member of the Gers' first-team squad this season, playing in both defence and midfield, and scored his first senior goal against Partick in November. He has made a total of 16 appearances.
He told Rangers TV: "I'm delighted to commit for the four-and-a-half years, especially at a club like Rangers - it's massive.
"It's the club I've supported ever since I was a little boy and I don't want to be playing anywhere other than Rangers.
"Short-term I want to beat Celtic tomorrow [Saturday]! But I want to stay in the team - that's the main thing and as long as I am playing, I'll be happy.
"[On the national team] I can't get too carried away! But I was away with the U21s and hopefully if I keep playing well with them and getting games, then we'll see what happens with the A squad."
Goalkeeper Robby was named on the first-team bench three years ago by Ally McCoist but, although he has consistently trained with the squad, he is yet to make his senior debut and has spent time this season on loan with Berwick Rangers.
He said: "From I don't know what age, I have been a Rangers fan. I joined here when I was eight years old so it has been a long time, so this has always been an ambition of mine.
"I am still out on loan just now, so as long as I keep progressing. Being a goalkeeper as well, you need to be patient.
"I'm level-headed that way and I know where I am at and where I want to be. Of course, in the future, I want to be the Rangers No 1 and that's why I signed the contract. I just need to keep working really hard."
