Footballer James Tavernier has spent 11 years at Rangers football club.
Rangers captain James Tavernier has shared on Instagram that he is to leave the club at the end of the season. In a statement, he wrote: “To the fans. My teammates and all the staff at the club.
“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision that this will be my final season at the club.
“This hasn’t been an easy decision. This club has been a huge part of my life and my family’s over the past 11 years. It’s given me so much, both on and off the pitch and from the moment I arrived, I’ve always tried to give everything I had to represent it in the right way.
“To have had the honour of being made captain of this club since 2018 is something I will always be incredibly proud of. Leading the team out, wearing the armband and being trusted in that role has meant more to me than I can properly put into words.
“We’ve shared the highs and the lows together and some truly incredible moments during the way. These include lifting the Scottish cup, League Cup, our journey to a European final and those unforgettable European nights at Ibrox against Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, where the atmosphere was something I will never forget. It also includes winning the league title and delivering 55, a moment that meant everything to the club and its supporters and one I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
“To all the players I’ve shared the pitch and dressing room with over the years, Thank you. The bonds we’ve built, the battles we’ve been through and the memories we’ve created are what makes this game so special.
“To the staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes every single day. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for the team. Your support often goes unseen, but it has never gone unappreciated.
“And to the fans. Your support home and away, through every high and every difficult moment, has meant more than I can ever fully express. You are the heart and soul of the club and it has been a privilege to play in front of you.
“This isn’t the end just yet. There is still a season to finish and we are fully focused on pushing for the league title. I will continue to give absolutely everything as I always have until the very last day.
“While I feel the time is right for a new challenge, my focus right now is on finishing the season the right way, together.
“Thank you for everything this club has given me. It has been the great honour of my career to represent it and to lead it.
“This club will always be a part of me, and I will always be a part of it. Once a Ranger, Always a Ranger.”
