Michael Beale has revealed Ryan Jack is one member of his Rangers leadership group.
The Ibrox boss conceded there is "no update" on the contract situation with Jack's current deal expiring in the summer.
But he insisted the pair are "on the same page" as he saluted Jack's impact as a role model for players in the Ibrox squad.
Revealing the current Rangers leadership group, Beale named John Lundstram, James Tavernier, Connor Goldson, Allan McGregor and Scott Arfield alongside Jack.
Quizzed on Jack's contract scenario, the Ibrox boss said: "No update in his contract situation. He knows what I feel about him, that’s very clear.
"He’s one of the leaders in the team along with John Lundstram, Tavernier and Goldson, Allan McGregor and Scotty Arfield as part of our leadership group.

"I’m delighted with him to be honest. I’ve tried to manage him quite cleverly in the games since I came back in along with John and Glen because they’re really important for us.
"When I came in there was different issues with everybody but Jacko looks in a fantastic place and he’s not only breaking the game up and getting us control he’s actually had a couple of goals in the last few games which has been pleasing.
"At this moment in time we haven’t sat, me and Ryan and had a big discussion.
"We had a discussion maybe three weeks ago before the Ross County game and we’re on the same page."
