James Tavernier is set to sign a new contract at Rangers that will see him become eligible for a testimonial.
The right-back is already a legend in the eyes of many at Ibrox after becoming their captain and an inspirational figure since Mark Warburton brought him in from Wigan seven years ago. He has two years remaining on his current deal and will pen a two-year extension to take him into the latter stages of his career.
Three years from now is when Tavernier will meet the requirements for a testimonial match for his service and this deal will ensure he gets the chance to fulfil that. It's the next part of the summer business that has included Rangers contract extensions for senior figures like Connor Goldson, Allan McGregor, Steven Davies and Scott Arfield. There's also been John Souttar, Antonio Colak, Tom Lawrence, Rabbi Matondo, Ben Davies and Malik Tillman's arrival.
