GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) - Rangers manager Philippe Clement has extended his contract at Ibrox until 2028 on the eve of the new Scottish league season.

The 50-year-old Belgian's initial deal ran until 2027.

Rangers' campaign starts at Hearts on Saturday. It has 55 league titles overall, one ahead of fierce Glasgow rival Celtic.

Clement took over from Michael Beale last October and sparked an upturn in form that included a League Cup triumph, and briefly brought Rangers back into title contention before Celtic pulled away in the closing stages.

"I have a really open and transparent relationship with the board," Clement told Gers' website after his deal was confirmed Friday. "I have fallen in love with the club, with the fans, the stadium and with the city."
