Positionally, Dujon Sterling is an obvious replacement at right-back. Experience-wise, goalkeeper Jack Butland is candidate for the captaincy.<\/p>\n
But it is in the goals scored column that Rangers would most miss Tavernier. <\/p>\n
As principle penalty taker and a free-kick specialist, he has regularly been in double figures of goals during his nine years at the club.<\/p>\n
Other players can take penalties – current top scorer Cyriel Dessers scored one last season – but Rangers do not have an obvious free-kick taker.<\/p>\n
His 133 goals are impressive for any defender. Of those, 110 have been while Rangers have been in the Premiership and he has averaged almost 20 a season in the past four campaigns.<\/p>\n
Tavernier is also proficient when it comes to assists – contributing two in the league already this term and eight last year.<\/p>\n
However, Sportsound pundit Rory Loy believes the relationship is nearing its end.<\/p>\n
“I just don’t think it’s a healthy situation,” he former Ibrox youth said of the confrontation with a fan. <\/p>\n
“It just feels like it’s come to a natural conclusion. If Rangers were to hold on to him, they’re risking that toxic energy persisting.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think he’s been particularly consistent this season and that’s a worry. I don’t think his body language looks the same as it has done in previous years. He just strikes you as a different character.<\/p>\n
“He’s not been contributing goals this season so far. He doesn’t look happy. Sometimes, you just need to accept that maybe it is time.<\/p>\n
“In this day and age, he’s continuing to be linked away. For me, that’s coming from his camp, his agent, whoever it may be trying to drum up interest.<\/p>\n
“Everything strikes to me that he would like to move on.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
