Rangers' English captain James Tavernier, who has scored 144 goals from his position at right-back, is set to leave Ibrox on a free transfer when his contract expires after an 11-year spell. Amid suggestions of a potential move to Derby County, the idea has been debated.
Fan Pundit Shaun Woodward has dismissed the prospect, arguing that a move for the 34-year-old would not align with Derby's apparent model of recruiting younger talent. Woodward also pointed to the club's existing options, with Max Johnston considered a long-term investment and Joe Ward serving as a backup. Another potential obstacle is the player's salary, which has been described as sizeable and possibly equivalent to a Premier League wage. Tavernier's availability on a free transfer could be seen as an attractive opportunity for a Championship club. The player has also been linked with Panathinaikos and has a current market value of €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
