Tavernier to leave Rangers

Hall of Fame captain will depart after 11 years

Rangers captain James Tavernier has announced he will depart the Ibrox club after 11 years.

Tavernier, who has a place in the club's Hall of Fame, has scored over 100 SPFL goals - the most by any defender in the SPFL era.

During his time in Glasgow, Tavernier has helped Rangers win the 2020/21 Scottish Premiership title, the 2021/22 Scottish Cup and scored the winning goal as his team lifted the Premier Sports Cup in 2023/24.

The Englishman confirmed his departure with a post on his Instagram account.

"This club has been a huge part of my life and my family's over the past 11 years," he said.

"It's given me so much, both on and off the pitch and from the moment I arrived, I've always tried to give everything I had to represent it in the right way.

"To have had the honour of being made captain of this club since 2018 is something I will always be incredibly proud of. Leading this team out, wearing the armband and being trusted in that role has meant more to me that I can properly put into words."
