Rangers fans thrilled by James Tavernier and Connor Goldson news

Wed 26 June 2024 11:29, UK Updated Wed 26 June 2024 13:32, UK

Rangers supporters online have expressed excitement over the potential departures of experienced duo James Tavernier and Connor Goldson from the club.

Club captain Tavernier and centre-half Goldson have been linked with a reunion with former Gers boss Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Pro League, and many fans at Ibrox believe it is time to move on from the duo and rebuild the squad entirely.

Tavernier, 32 – who scored 24 goals in 58 appearances last season – could command a £10m fee according to Alan Hutton, speaking exclusively told Football Insider [15 June].

Football Insider also revealed on 17 June that Goldson was high on Gerrard’s list of priorities and Rangers are fearing they will lose the 31-year-old, who played 48 times last term.

Gerrard was the man who originally issued the captaincy to Tavernier six years ago, with the former Ibrox manager looking to improve on a sixth-placed finish in the Saudi table.

Rangers fans want Tavernier and Goldson gone

Rangers supporters are showing little sentiment towards the long-serving duo online, as the club sparked reactions this week with their pre-season training posts.

If Steven Gerrard signs Tav and Goldson for £10mill that will be the greatest achievement of his Rangers career and he’ll be forgiven for going to Villa…

My greatest fear is Tavernier Goldson Wright will still be here net season and no matter who we bring in we will get served the same standard from players who have been here far too long .

Preaching to the choir here mate, exactly why I want the likes of Tav & Goldson gone, scunnered watching them happily settling for 2nd best every season. Bennett knows he has to get it right now, well I hope he does.
