James Tavernier left out of Rangers matchday squad against Hibs after bust-up with Danny Rohl
Rangers captain James Tavernier will not play the Light Blues’ Scottish Premiership game against Hibernian at Ibrox tonight following a bust-up with Danny Rohl, according to the Scottish Sun.
The defender was expecting to say goodbye to Rangers fans at tonight’s final home league match of the 2025-26 season.
However, Rohl dropped Tavernier from his starting line-up and the Bears hero had an exchange with the Light Blues boss.
The 34-year-old proceeded to speak with his Rangers teammates at their prematch meeting.
Tavernier was present at tonight’s Premiership clash with his family despite initial reports claiming that he had stormed out of Ibrox.
Former Rangers star John Greig made an official presentation on behalf of the club to him.
He was taken off in the 3-1 defeat to Celtic on Sunday but was expecting to start tonight.
However, Rohl has other plans and the Englishman may have played his last game for the Bears.
The Light Blues play Falkirk away from home in their last game of the season on Saturday and Tavernier will hope to feature.
He has played 52 times across all competitions this term and will be gutted not to have ended his Rangers career with another league title.
The Bears skipper announced in April that he was going to leave the Ibrox club when his contract expires at the end of this season.
