James Tavernier in direct Rangers transfer exit address as Steven Gerrard reunion in Saudi chat explodes

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Rangers skipper James Tavernier shrugged off Saudi speculation as insisted his only focus is leading Philippe Clement’s side to Scottish Cup glory.Record Sport revealed last month that former Gers gaffer Steven Gerrard is keen to take both Tavernier and fellow Ibrox stalwart Connor Goldson with him to the Gulf.

And it's understood the Al-Ettifaq gaffer is considering a swoop this summer. But the Light Blues captain - who has a contract running until 2026 - is adamant he’s going nowhere as he insisted he’s got unfinished business in Glasgow having won just three winners medals in nine years at Rangers.Tavernier - who has already lifted the Viaplay Cup this season - aims to add another honour to that tally this afternoon when he leads his side out to face Celtic at Hampden.

And with boss Clement preparing a major overhaul this summer, Tavernier hopes the rebuild will be constructed on the foundations of a cup Double.

He said: “It’s speculation that’s been around my name for quite a while now, so it’s nothing new.“I have two seasons left and I am fully focused with the job in hand.
