James Tavernier has reacted as a well-lauded Rangers hero has parted ways with his club after just four months.
The English right-back left Rangers following the end of the 2025/26 season, on the expiration of his contract at Ibrox.
He has yet to join a club despite interest from English and Saudi Arabian sides.
If Lewis Ferguson joins post the World Cup, who should Derek McInnes name the Rangers captain?
This is assuming Nicolas Raskin leaves Rangers…
James Tavernier reacts to Jermain Defoe leaving Woking
Tavernier liked the post uploaded by Jermain Defoe in which he confirmed that he would be parting ways with Woking.
The former Rangers striker joined the National League just four months ago, having been in charge of six games.
Of those games, he managed to win two, guiding his side to a 10th-placed finish last season.
What have YOU made of Andrew Cavenagh’s time as Chairman? 🤔
He is delivering on his promises…
This most certainly has come as a surprise, as the 43-year-old admitted that he was looking forward to starting the new season.
Defoe wrote: “Unfortunately, circumstances have ultimately made it impossible for me to continue in the position.
“I am extremely proud of the work undertaken during my time at the club and genuinely felt that we were building something special.
“My time at Woking FC has been an eye-opening managerial experience and one that will undoubtedly make me stronger for the next challenge in my career.”
What happened and is a Rangers return imminent for Defoe?
Rangers News understands that there are no plans in store for Defoe to make his return to Ibrox.
The former English striker was not only a player for the Light Blues, but a part of the coaching staff and interim manager as well.
Moving to Woking was understood to be the first step taken in his managerial career as he aimed to start in the lower tiers.
What is your reaction to the new third kit?
It's fair to say a lot of Rangers fans have hated it…
The reasons for his exit remain unclear, but the BBC have reported that off-field issues at the club may have played a role in his exit.
Defoe did not thank Director of Football Jody Brown in his statement from a few days ago, but thanked the owner, with there being a possibility of some issues with Brown.
The club confirmed that a mutual agreement was reached for the two parties to part ways.
