Tavernier Keeps Rangers Deal Option Open Amid League Title Pursuit

Rangers captain James Tavernier has revealed to Sky Sports News that he is open to signing a new deal with the club. With his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, Tavernier's focus remains on securing his second Premiership title since joining the team in 2015. Rangers are currently one point behind leaders Hearts, with Celtic trailing by two points and five games left to play. When asked about his future, the 34-year-old stated, 'I'm taking things one day at a time.' He emphasized his priority is on the present, citing his family commitments and hectic schedule. Although he has been with Rangers for a long time, Tavernier acknowledged that he cannot predict the future but will not rule out the possibility of staying with the club. This season, Tavernier has started only 23 of Rangers' 33 league games, as head coach Danny Röhl explores other options to help the team win the league trophy. Despite the frustration of not starting every game, Tavernier expressed his commitment to supporting his teammates and giving his best when called upon. After a slow start to the season, Rangers have improved under Röhl's leadership, and Opta's super-computer now favors them to win the title. Tavernier stressed that 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 game with the same intensity and determination as they have in recent months, staying humble and driven to achieve success.
