Newcastle let defender go but he’s now out-scored Alexander Isak

Newcastle United may be living to regret a transfer decision they made a few years ago as James Tavernier has continued to shine with Rangers.

Remarkably, the Magpies sold Tavernier for just £90k after a series of loan spells in which he’d failed to impress, but he’s now gone on to earn legendary status at Ibrox.

The 32-year-old is now club captain and has been a top performer at right-back since he joined in 2015, with more goals now in his career even than current Magpies star forward Alexander Isak.
