Rangers defender James Tavernier is eyeing winning the Scottish Premiership with the club after signing a new long term contract with the Gers.

The Glasgow giants confirmed on Wednesday that Tavernier has decided to sign a new deal and has extended his stay at Ibrox as the club look to keep hold of their best players.




Rangers are eleven points behind league leaders Celtic in third and are not expected to compete for the league title towards the end of the season, but Tavernier is keen to push the club forward.

The defender insists as a Rangers player he wants to bring home the league title as soon as possible and believes they have the squad to compete with Celtic.
 


Tavernier also feels the Rangers hierarchy have a clear vision for the club moving forward and he wants to be part of the story when they again start winning trophies soon.
