Rangers skipper James Tavernier transfer 'bafflement' with Manchester United question posed

Rangers skipper James Tavernier is better than Manchester United's right-back and good enough to play in the top level English Premier League sides, according to Jim Duffy.

The 63-year-old admits to being 'absolutely baffled' that no major club from south of the border has tried to prize away the Ibrox captain. His numbers in terms of goals and assists speaks volumes and the former Dumbarton and Ayr United boss said the full-back's development as a player and captain is 'nothing short of immense'.

The 30-year-old finished last season as the Europa League top goal scorer and was a major factor behind Giovanni van Bronckhorst's men reaching the final in Seville. He went on to lift the Scottish Cup after victory over Hearts and helped the club end Celtic's bid to win ten-in-a-row the season before.
