TAVERNIER TARGETS TROPHIES AT IBROX

JAMES Tavernier believes Rangers have already assembled a squad capable of winning the title.

The right-back has targeted a league winners’ medal after signing a twoyear extension to his Rangers contract to commit himself to Ibrox until 2021.

Ta v e r n i e r w o n the Championship and Challenge Cup in his first season but Celtic have enjoyed a clean sweep of trophies since Rangers joined them in the top flight and have an eight-point lead in the Premiership.

Graeme Murty’s side sit a further three points behind Aberdeen but Tavernier feels he can achieve his title target in the coming years.

Tavernier said: “There was only going to be one option. I have always said I have loved my time here and there is a lot more to come.

“I want to win trophies here and my game is coming on a lot. I am still learning and I am working really well under the gaffer so it was always a great blend.

“I want to win this league. We’ve got the fans for it, we’ve got the squad for it, we’ve got a great squad now. That’s our aim.

“We are Rangers Football Club, it’s known for how many trophies it’s had and we need to add more.

“We want to at least win one trophy this season,” the 26-year-old said. “The Scottish Cup i s a great opportunity to do that. We have Falkirk i n the next round and we’ll be looking forward to that tie.”
