There are some who want the brother of Rangers captain James Tavernier to join him at Ibrox.
The Rangers captain James Tavernier has praised his brother, Marcus, after he played for his country’s Under-20s on Monday.
The older Tavernier, who failed to win any youth caps for England, saw his younger sibling help the Three Lions to a 1-0 win against Switzerland.
And the 20-year-old’s promise has got some Rangers fans pondering whether the Middlesbrough midfielder would be a useful option for Steven Gerrard’s side.
This is what they are saying on Twitter…
However, others of a Rangers persuasion had alternative thoughts in mind, like whether the Ibrox number 2 could alter his own international allegiance…
Rangers’ Tavernier has developed into one of the Scottish Premiership’s standout players since 2016, but despite his form north of the border having led to interest from beneath it, there are still a number of right-backs – such as Kieran Trippier and Aaron Wan-Bissaka – ahead of him in England’s short-term plans.
His Middlesbrough relative is under contract until 2021 on Teesside, where he has featured only sparingly this season.
