Barry Ferguson has finally announces the departure of James Tavernier after what he did to him earlier

James Tavernier will be in the headlines at Rangers until next summer, with his future at Ibrox uncertain.

The right-back is set to complete a decade at the Gers, having captained the team to a few titles during his time in Glasgow.

Tavernier’s current contract at Ibrox runs until 2026, but there’s been speculation about his future at the Light Blues, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Englishman leave soon.

Barry Ferguson replaced Philippe Clement as interim manager until the end of the season, and the arrival of a new head coach could potentially affect the 33-year-old defender’s future.

Rangers exit on cards for Tavernier under new boss

It wouldn’t be surprising to see Tavernier leave the Bears in the upcoming transfer window, Chris Jack says.

The Scottish journalist believes the next permanent manager at the Gers will have an easy decision to make with the right-back, as an exit may be on the cards.

Jack feels that with a new era about to begin at the Light Blues after the potential takeover, the 33-year-old could potentially end his decade-long stay.

Speaking on the Rangers Review (25 April), the journalist said: “Are we in the final weeks of Tavernier as a Rangers player? It wouldn’t surprise me. I think you get to the stage where there’s such enthusiasm for next season. It’s a feeling of a fresh start, new direction and a new era.

“I think it’s almost a bigger call for the new manager to keep Tavernier than to sell him. And that’s probably the first time that’s been the case at any stage over the last 10 years of his career. It’s now easier to make that call to move him on.”
