James Tavernier Signs Contract Extension

RANGERS captain James Tavernier has today signed an extension to his current long-term deal at Ibrox.

The skipper, who joined the club in the Championship in 2015, has gone onto make 353 appearances to date, and has an incredible 85 goals to his name from right-back.

Tavernier is the last remaining player from the club’s days in the lower divisions of Scottish football, and he amassed Championship and Petrofac Cup winners’ medals from those days.

After two years in the top flight, Tavernier was named as permanent captain of the club in the summer of 2018 under Steven Gerrard. 

It was he who became the iconic captain to lift title number 55 in 2021, while he also added the Scottish Cup to his collection last season.

He is one of just four Rangers captains to lead his team into a European final with Gers having beaten all the odds to play in the Europa League final in Seville in May.

He has now committed to a new deal which will take him well into his thirties as a Ranger.

Speaking after signing his new deal, Tavernier said: "I just want to spend more years here and have that security.

"It is such a great place to play football and I can’t wait to see what the coming years have to bring.

"I am settled here, my family are settled here, so it was a no-brainer to get the contact extension over the line."
