squad dynamics

Both James Tavernier and Connor Goldson are pivotal figures in the squad, with Tavernier serving as captain and Goldson recognized for his reliability in defense, making them indispensable to Rangers. The club is keen to ensure they are not undervalued in any potential transfers, given the considerable investment that would be needed to replace them. Interest from Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al-Ettifaq, known for their substantial spending power, places Rangers in a favorable position to negotiate a high transfer fee.

Steven Gerrard’s desire to bring the duo to Al-Ettifaq adds an emotional dimension to the situation, potentially sparking a bidding war that could further drive up their market value. This presents Rangers with an opportunity to secure a significant financial gain, which could be reinvested to strengthen the team.
