Tavernier Keeps Rangers Deal Option Open Amid League Title Pursuit
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, the Ibrox captain remains focused on securing his second Premiership title since joining in 2015. Rangers are currently one point behind leaders Hearts, with Celtic two points further back and five games left to play. Tavernier emphasized his day-by-day approach, prioritizing training and family commitments. While he is open to discussing his future, he will wait and see how things unfold. The defender has started 23 of Rangers' 33 league games this season, with head coach Danny Röhl exploring other options to help clinch the league trophy. Despite the frustration of not starting every game, Tavernier is committed to supporting his teammates and giving his best when called upon. Following a slow start to the season, Rangers have regained momentum under Röhl, with Opta's super-computer now favoring them to win the title. Tavernier believes the team's fate is in their own hands and that they must approach each game with the same intensity as a cup final. With the squad's belief and recent performances, Tavernier is confident they can push for the title, but acknowledges the need to stay humble and driven.
