And he was quizzed about his future. Bajrami said: "In football, you never say never. But I am currently focused only on Rangers.
"It is a special emotion to be back in my home town.
"My advice to everyone is to never stop believing in yourself."
Bajrami made 44 appearances for Rangers last season in all competitions and scored five goals for the club, including the opening goal in the League Cup Final against Celtic in December, which they eventually lost on penalties.

Russell Martin slaughtered for ‘incomprehensible choices' over Rangers tactics & line-up including Nico Raskin decision
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS manager Russell Martin has been slammed for making 'incomprehensible choices' in his team by top Belgian boss Hans Vanhaezebrouck after their shock Champions League defeat. The Ibrox side will travel to Belgium next week and have to overcome a two-goal deficit after a disastrous start to the play-offs this week, where they were 3-0 down after 20 minutes before grabbing a second half consolation. 3 Russell Martin's tactics have been called into question by a Belgian coach/pundit Credit: Willie Vass 3 In particular, his use of Nicolas Raskin against Club Brugge Credit: PA New Ibrox boss Martin has come under fire already after a disappointing start to his tenure with Rangers being held to draws in the Premiership by Motherwell and Dundee. And former Anderlecht, Gent and Genk boss-turned Belgian TV pundit Vanhaezebrouck was unimpressed with Martin's tactics and team selection. He pointed out: "Rangers manager Russell Martin made many strange choices for me. "He put Jayden Meghoma straight in at left-back after just two days at the club and then moved Max Aarons to right-back, even though James Tavernier is playing better. "And I didn't understand their midfield at all. "Nicolas Raskin was played too deep and Joe Rothwell too high. That doesn't work. "And without the injured Cyriel Dessers, Rangers were much weaker up front. "Rangers defended set pieces with a mixture of man-marking and zonal marking and I knew there was something there for Club Brugge. They executed their plan superbly. "But it's only 3-1 and it's football, so anything could happen in the second leg. "Look at Club Brugge's home game against RB Salzburg - they missed a truckload of chances and were still 2-0 down at half time. Rangers MISS OUT on top striker target as failures of loan strategy exposed "The tie is still at half time. "I would say Club Brugge have a 90 per cent chance of progressing, but would point out that Rangers had a lot of chances too so it's not a formality." 3 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
