James Tavernier Open to New Rangers Deal, Aims for Premiership Title Glory
James Tavernier says he will not rule out signing a new contract at Rangers. The 34-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and is concentrating on the run-in.
Contract future and mindset
Tavernier told Filmogaz.com he is taking the decision day by day. He said family life and training fill his focus right now.
His wife asked about a holiday, he said, but that was too far ahead. He prefers to plan week by week and prioritise his children’s schedules.
Playing role this season
The right-back has scored eight Premiership goals so far this season. He has started 23 of Rangers’ 33 league matches.
Tavernier accepts periods on the bench. He vows to support team-mates and give his best when selected.
From early-season struggles to title contention
Rangers won only once in the league before Russell Martin departed in October. Danny Röhl took charge while Rangers sat sixth and were 13 points behind Hearts.
Since then, results have improved. Opta now lists Rangers among the favourites for the title.
Tavernier says the championship race remains in Rangers’ hands. He stressed the need to treat each remaining match like a final.
Standings and remaining context
With five games left, Rangers sit one point behind leaders Hearts. Celtic are two points further back in the chase.
Tavernier said the squad belief is strong. He added that competition for places is healthy and keeps the manager busy with selection decisions.
The defender also referenced his history at the club. He joined Rangers in 2015 and helped win the Premiership in 2021.
Keywords summarising his stance: James Tavernier open to new Rangers deal and aims for Premiership title glory. He will discuss his future after the season concludes.
