James Tavernier has finally found his next club, months after leaving Rangers behind.

His legacy remains clear at Ibrox, regardless of how sour it turned.

A public fallout with Danny Rohl meant Tavernier never truly got to say goodbye on the pitch, instead a small ceremony.

As Rangers crumbled in the Scottish Premiership split, the right-back waved goodbye to the fans before leaving Ibrox for good.

While Rohl has defended himself, not many appreciated that ending.

And after months of searching for his next club, a move to Israel and Maccabi Tel Aviv arrived out of nowhere.

Who has reacted to James Tavernier's transfer unveiling?

With most things in football now, the transfer announcement was plastered all over social media.

The reactions were a past and present of Rangers figures wishing Tavernier well, including thousands of fans, too.

Michael Beale and Connor Goldson both send red love hearts in the comments to show their appreciation.

Tavernier played alongside his fair share of modern-day Ibrox icons, with the likes of Ryan Jack and Scott Arfield liking the post, as well as Ally McCoist.

Current squad members, Nico Raskin, Youssef Chermiti, Bojan Miovski and Emmanuel Fernandez also liked it.

Then the likes of Hamza Igamane, Todd Cantwell and Vaclav Cerny also showed their appreciation.

Who replaced James Tavernier at Rangers?

The answer to that is nobody, because he wasn't replaceable.

No matter what you thought of Tavernier towards the end of his career at Ibrox, nobody will go on and replicate what he achieved.

A right-back scoring and assisting as many goals as he did was simply outlandish, and it won't be repeated.

Dujon Sterling, Ross McCrorie and Kosta Nedeljkovic are all right-back options for Derek McInnes, but none have set the world alight.

Right now, Rangers just need stability, and that will come.

As for Tavernier, everybody in Govan will be wishing him luck in this next and possible last journey of his long career.
