James Tavernier was wanted by Trabzonspor during the summer transfer window. However, no offer arrived that met the Rangers club's valuation for the right-back. Tavernier is in contract with Rangers until the end of next season and has expressed his commitment to achieve more with the club.

Trabzonspor was keen to land the Rangers skipper before the transfer deadline in Turkey. However, the Turkish Football Federation decided to stick with their current ruling on foreign players, frustrating Trabzonspor's attempts. Trabzonspor recently signed Simon Banza on loan from Braga but have not yet added him to their list. Trabzonspor had an offer rejected in January.

James Tavernier has been linked with a deadline-busting move to Trabzonspor.

James Tavernier, the Gers skipper, could leave Rangers before the Turkish transfer deadline. Trabzonspor, who previously signed Borna Barisic and John Lundstram from Rangers, are interested in signing him.
