Van Bronckhorst set to hand out another Dad’s Army contract

Fifteen months after signing his last contract James Tavernier is set to sign a new deal keeping him at Ibrox until 2026. 

With John Lundstram, Connor Goldson and Ben Davies signing more recent deals it is believed that the former Wigan Athletic and MK Dons utility man had seriously fallen down the wages pecking order. 

Signed by Mark Warburton in 2015 there hasn’t been a sniff of interest in Tav down the years despite the hype he gets from the Scottish media. 

Having done the rounds of lower division clubs in England it seems that Championship clubs aren’t impressed by a record of winning two trophies out of 20 in what is regarded as a two horse race. 

In recent months Allan McGregor, Steve Davis and Scott Arfield have signed new contracts, Tav’s new contract takes him through to a few months short of his 35th birthday. 

Alfredo Morelos, Ryan Kent, Filip Helander and Ryan Jack are out of contract in May 2023.
