James Tavernier to join the Rangers In light of Saudi claims, a January departure cannot be totally ruled out – Chris Jack.

Chris Jack feels it would be “silly” to totally rule out the possibility of a Saudi team buying James Tavernier from the Rangers, despite the fact that he has heard of alleged interest in the player on multiple occasions.

Even if prior reports had not resulted in a move, the journalist acknowledged that “money talks” and stated on the Rangers Review Morning Briefing on January 10 that he would be “surprised” if the 32-year-old was willing to give up his current situation.
