My star a alphe and others who replied to my question
Which Rangers outfield player started his academy career as a goalkeeper
It was James tavienier at Leeds united. Played a season as a goalkeeper then converted to a midfielder, the rest is history. This was at Leeds united
Little known fact.

I'd have loved the fan reaction when GK Tav runs 80 yards up field to take a throw in.
24 Apr 2026 08:15:25
Wow, missed the question but never knew that.
24 Apr 2026 08:27:35
How about for GK /out fielders, what about Ross McCrorie keeping a clean sheet for us before Robbie?
24 Apr 2026 09:07:23
Huey, that made me laugh.
24 Apr 2026 09:08:06
Correct, Kaiser. Ross has 100% clean sheets.

Hi John, there was a penalty shoot out on Rangers TV with 3 or 4 different players. One of them being Tav. Each player took a turn in goal, and Tav did mention that he started as a goalkeeper. Interesting fact.

Cheers John, he wouldn't have been near my choices.
24 Apr 2026 09:55:21
Thanks John, is it true Derek Johnston started as a goalkeeper?
24 Apr 2026 10:37:38
Aphe, not that I can trace anywhere, he never played as a goalkeeper for any professional club that I can trace.
Mb someone else knows otherwise.
24 Apr 2026 11:17:38
Thank you, John. I thought I had read it somewhere, but clearly it was about someone else.
24 Apr 2026 11:47:26
If only Big Jack had feet like Tav.
24 Apr 2026 15:35:57
Loved that Huey.

Correct John
