Could James Tavernier’s time at Rangers be coming to an end? The Gers skipper is target for Trabzonspor after the Turkish Super Lig outfit made a shock bid to sign the Ibrox skipper last night.
The right-back has spent nine seasons and scored an astonishing 134 goals in 118 Scottish Premiership matches from defence as he became the highest scoring defender in British football history last season.
However, it appears Trabzonspor are looking to reunite the 32-year-old with former team mates Borna Barisic and John Lundstram who both joined the club from Glasgow this summer.
With Philippe Clement stating last week that the club must sell to buy, the departure of Tavernier feels like a genuine possibly if they are to press on with their summer rebuild, however, replacing the Englishman will be an unenviable test.
We look at 10 right-backs that could fill the void left by Tavernier should his move to Turkey be completed this summer.
9. Lewie Coyle - Hull City
An experienced and dependable option, Coyle could be available at a cut-price cost due to Hull's need to sell this summer. Has started almost every game for the Tigers over the last two seasons and, at just 28, is a good age. If a bargain deal can be agreed, the former Leeds United full-back could be a tidy pick up. | Getty Images
10. Dujon Sterling - Rangers
Perhaps the most sensible option. Just put Sterling in his natural position and spend the money elsewhere. There's no doubting the ex-Stoke City man's quality and ability to play in various positions, but Philippe Clement could find him a settled home at right-back and use the Tavernier fee elsewhere. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
