'A great captain who deserves a proper send-off'

[BBC]

We asked for your views on James Tavernier's Rangers career after the captain announced he will leave at the end of the season following an 11-year stint.

Here is a selection of your thoughts:

Steven: Tavernier has always carried himself well and behaved the way a Rangers captain should. However, despite this and all his goals and assists, his defending has always been poor and mistakes have possibly offset many of those goals! He's been a fantastic servant and captain to the club during many difficult times and leaves with his head held high.

Louise: Tavernier has been a true servant to Rangers. He has stayed through highs and lows and quietly taken criticism and graciously taken praise. For me, Tav is a Rangers legend and a loyal captain. Though I'm sad to see him leave, now is probably a good time as he hasn't been starting every game. Let's hope he can leave on a high - thanks for everything skipper.

Chris: Tavernier has been a tremendous contributor to this club. His goals and assists have been a big part of our return from the depths of the lower leagues. He has deserved better from some sections of the fanbase who perhaps expect too much. You've still got a few seasons left, James, and I wish you the best wherever you're headed.

Paul: Tavernier gave 11 years of good service, his goalscoring record speaks for itself. Like most Rangers fans we have all suffered for years but he gave his best and gave us some great European nights. I think the last three years he was a bit off the pace but I hope he goes out with a bang and wins the 56, good luck Tavernier and thanks for all your efforts.

John: Whatever any of us would choose to say about Tavernier's time with Rangers, none of us can question his commitment and scoring record. Despite the lack of silverware for the club, we should all acknowledge his record of appearances, assist and goals scored. Thank you Tavernier.

Antony: Legend is an overused term these days. Tav is no doubt a Rangers legend. Loyal, professional, consistent and absolute quality. He could have easily played for a top, top team in any league. Have really enjoyed watching him and his goals. Thank you Tav!
