Just wanted to say I would be gutted if Tav went. 3 mil wouldn't be enough for me cause who could we get to replace him? I know he's been caught out in the past but with Murty as manager he seems to be learning fast.
He really took the game by the scruff of the neck on Saturday and he was demanding higher standards and more effort from everyone . whilst leading by example!
He's been through it with us now, he's competitive and, just by going off what I've seen in his interviews, I could imagine he is great banter and a big character in the changing room.
I honestly feel he's a big player for us going forward and 3 million is nowhere near enough. Turning down that sum in order to keep him would be a sign of ambition in my opinion. If he takes his second half performance into the second half of the season, just the way he was so demanding, I can see him as a future captain. Just my opinion, shoot me down . come on!

No mate, I totally agree with you. As some people on here have eluded to, he's the modern fullback and will get caught out because he's up the pitch so much. He's one of the few players we have that can drive us forward, and he can put in a cracking cross.
For me it's a no brainer, he must stay. 3m doesn't buy you much in today's market, if we had to replace him.

If £3m was offered am sure we'd sell. I like Tavernier but am sure you could get a good, young right back easy enough. Just off the top of my head the boy Naismith up at Ross county.

Guys, don't you think we are now seeing the real Tav which is why we brought him in. This will also happen with Windass as you have seen he has the potential just needs to be more consistent. Bates was the same, laughed at when he came from RR now a more confident palyer and showing potential. We should be holding on to these young players then selling on when the pruce is right or even building round them.

Good post. He's a modern day wingback and a better one than Moses and I follow Chelsea as my second team. Tavernier has progressed a lot and gets what it is to play for Rangers and endure the pressures. He'd walk into a lot of premier league teams and that sets its own value. Well done to the guy.

He had a great game against Celtic are we forgetting all the dodgy defending from him (and others) in our defeats this season? Again I actually like him but if someone offers £3m, he'll be sold. If anyone offered £3m for any of our players, they'd most likely be sold.

Spot on Blueberry. a lot of people with short memories. If we got offered 3m (which we won’t) I’d bite their hand off for it.
“he’d walk into a lot of premier league teams†I’m intrigued to know which ones Kfraser? Because he’s a rotten defender which most premier league clubs wouldn’t put up with.!

Tavernier was superb in the second half and took Tierney to the cleaners however he himself was given a hard time the previous week at Kilmarnock. Think we should be looking for a better defensive right back and push him to right midfield
