James Tavernier will be the most high-profile star ever to have played in Israel, according to former Bundesliga-based international Gil Vermouth.
The former Rangers skipper has arrived in the country to complete his medical and seal a move to his old Ibrox teammate Kenny Miller's side, Maccabi Tel Aviv. The 34-year-old spent 11 years at Rangers and netted 144 goals in 562 games.
