JAMES TAVERNIER insists Rangers will be an attractive proposition for English talent as boss Michael Beale bids to bolster his Ibrox squad.
Beale revealed last week that he had spoken to potential January recruits and refused to rule out swoops for Tom Davies and Todd Cantwell in the aftermath of the victory over Dundee United.
The Englishman will only sanction deals for players he believes will go straight into his starting line-up this month and he has already dismissed the prospect of loan arrivals.
Tavernier made the move from Wigan Athletic eight years ago and the likes of Connor Goldson and Ryan Kent have also made the most of the platform provided at Ibrox.
Calvin Bassey stands out as the best example of what can be achieved when making the switch from England and captain Tavernier reckons Rangers will always be of interest to players from across the border.
Tavernier said: "I think we are always looking to add quality to the team and improve it. We’re all football people and you see the Felix transfer.
"Everyone is trying to do business and improve their teams. That’s what we’re trying to do. Just add that quality.
"As a player and a captain, you always welcome that. You always want to improve the team and hopefully we can get a few players.
"I think it should be [an attractive place for players coming from England]. Obviously it was a disappointing Champions League campaign, but we want to get Champions League football again and hopefully we can get it on a regular basis.
"We made a European final last year. This is a place where you can win trophies and you won’t get many players like this with the fans and the atmosphere we get.
"I think it’s a really attractive football club for players, as they can see with Joe and Calvin. Hopefully we can attract a lot more players.
"If the club wanted me to speak to them, or if I knew a friend of a friend, then I’d obviously try and convince them to come here to improve the team. But it’s normally left to the manager and Ross."
