Tavernier Keeps Rangers Deal Option Open as He Pursues League Title

James Tavernier has expressed his commitment to Rangers, stating he will not rule out a new contract with the club. With his current deal set to expire at the end of the season, Tavernier is focused on securing his second Premiership title since joining Rangers in 2015. The team is currently one point behind leaders Hearts, with Celtic two points further back and five games remaining. When asked about his future, the 34-year-old captain said, 'I'm taking it one day at a time.' He emphasized that his priority is on the present, including his training and family commitments. Tavernier acknowledged that his long tenure with Rangers makes the possibility of a new deal appealing, but he is waiting to see how things unfold. Despite starting only 23 of the team's 33 league games this season, Tavernier remains dedicated to supporting his teammates and giving his best when called upon. Under the guidance of head coach Danny Röhl, Rangers have made significant progress since a slow start to the season. Tavernier believes the team's fate is in their own hands and that their goal is to win every remaining game. He emphasized the importance of approaching each match with the same intensity and focus as they have in recent months, and expressed confidence in the team's ability to succeed.
