Tavernier has made an immense contribution to Rangers over the course of the last four seasons.
Despite being a right-back, Tav has scored 43 goals and assisted a further 62. That means that Tav averages a goal or contribution more than once every two games.
Not bad for a player who reportedly cost us £225k from Wigan way back in 2015.
But how the player himself will be looking to cement himself in Ibrox history is by winning trophies.
Despite reported interest from Newcastle United – which Toon boss Steve Bruce has since denied [Chronicle] – Tavernier remains committed to Rangers.
The marauding former Newcastle man said that he was “focused” on the job at Ibrox [Herald] and that he “came to Rangers to win trophies”.

Until he does that, you get the feeling Tav will never really be fully satisfied with his contribution at Ibrox, even if he has 200 games under his belt.

There has also been talk of the full-back interesting the likes of Brighton and Aston Villa [90min.com].
