Captain James Tavernier has announced he will leave Rangers at the end of the season, after 11 years at Ibrox.

British football’s highest scoring defender, 34, has led the Glasgow side for the past eight years, winning the Scottish Premiership in 2021, the Scottish Cup the following year and the League Cup in 2023. He also skippered Rangers in their 2022 Europa League final appearance, which they lost on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt.

As a right-back, the Englishman has scored 144 goals in 562 Rangers appearances and 152 goals overall.

He said in an Instagram post that departing at the end of his current contract “hasn’t been an easy decision”.

“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.”
