The Rangers captain remains unaware if he will be at Ibrox next season, having yet to be offered a new contract.

Tavernier has started 23 out of the 33 league games this season, with Danny Rohl rotating his squad in chase for the league title.

Despite not as much game time, Tavernier has still contributed 14 goals across all competitions.

Rangers are one point behind league leaders Hearts and two points ahead of Celtic with five games to go in this fascinating title run in.

Speaking with the BBC on his future, Tavernier said: “I don’t know, time will tell for that one.

“I’m a man who always focuses on short-term. Especially this week, I’m focusing on my family and focusing on my football.

“My wife’s asking me about the summer holidays and what my kids need on holiday, and I’m saying, ‘talk to me at a later date because that’s just too far ahead for me.’

“Time will tell with this one. Obviously, I’m excited for what the future brings.”

He was then asked about his shortage of game time, and if it would impact his decision if he was to be offered a deal.

He said: “Nothing’s ever a guarantee in football.

“You’ve got to earn the right. That’s been the case since day one since I’ve playing professional football. I’ve always had to earn that right to start.”

With Rangers being in a tight title race, Tavernier’s focus will surely remain strongly on producing success for the Rangers support.
