With the transfer window looming, Rangers are gearing up to bolster their squad to mount a serious title challenge under Philippe Clement’s leadership. The manager is seeking players who embody resilience, possess a younger profile, and align with the team’s trading model. While experience is valued, he also wants to nurture less seasoned players with a core of seasoned professionals.
One player who has captured attention is James Tavernier, the club captain approaching a decade at Rangers. Despite speculation linking him to a move to Saudi Arabia under former manager Steven Gerrard, Clement remains confident in retaining Tavernier for the upcoming season. With his impressive goal-scoring record and valuable contributions on the field, the defender is a key asset.
Football journalist Ben Jacobs provided an update debunking the rumors of Tavernier’s departure to Al-Ettifaq. While the links were logical, there appears to be no concrete interest from Gerrard’s side. As a reliable and consistent presence on the team, losing Tavernier would be a blow amidst other potential squad changes. As Tavernier continues to chase records and make headlines, his future at Rangers seems secure, much to the relief of fans and management alike.
