    Just reading an article on BBC Football about him, and spotted that he was Bradford born. Having looked further, he was with Farsley Celtic as a junior. We haven't half missed a trick there.

    What's astoundingly impressive is that he has scored 80 goals in 236 games for Rangers, which is less than 1 in 3.

    I don't think any of our strikers could get anywhere near those stats, let alone defenders.

    Regardless, always nice to see someone from our neck of the woods succeeding. Good luck to Rangers in their Europa League semi final tonight.

    Signed for Leeds as a little kid whilst at Farsley. Don't think we were ever in the running

    Should he be in line for an England call up for the Nations League games in a couple of weeks?

    He led Rangers to defeat Dortmund, Leipzig, amongst others and was a whisker away from winning the second biggest trophy in European club competition.

    We’ve got many players in the England squad who don’t have regular continental competition and who haven’t achieved half as much as Tavernier (he was the Europa League top scorer too!).

    Verdict: call him up.

    I apologise if this was sacrcasm but absolutely no chance.

    His record is incredible for a right back but the majority of it against Inverness and Dundee.

    We've got better right backs that currently can't get in and with Walker, James and TAA all fighting it out this bloke isn't even close.

    If he came down to the PL and maintained his performances then fine but it's very doubtful that he could.

    Trippier for one. Lamptey at Brighton. Aarons at Norwich.

    I go to watch the Rangers alot..

    More than capable of holding a place down in the premier league for most sides..

    Why would you leave the Rangers though to play mid tier premier league football possibly unless it was for the pay packet.. hes not about that at all this guy..

    Proper footballer is Tavs.. understands just about all are a down grade on the gers.. unless its about the money..

    Me and my eldest lad.. repping the bantams.. remembrance fixture season just gone at the gers memorial spot.. more than just a football club is the Rangers honestly..
