Andy Halliday has expressed his shock at English clubs NOT trying to sign James Tavernier over the years.
The Rangers skipper continues to go from strength to strength as he gets set to walk out his troops against Frankfurt in the Europa League final.
The full-back has been in top form in Europe this term, netting a stunning SEVEN goals in the knockout stages in the competition.
Tavernier has been instrumental in wins over the likes of Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig.
And current Hearts star and ex-Rangers midfielder reckons he's been the standout player in the tournament this campaign.
Speaking on behalf of Grosvenor Sport, he said: "The better club Tavernier is at, the better he'll do because of his attacking outlet - I've been shocked for years that no one in England has tried to sign him, but I know for sure he's happy where he is and loves playing for Rangers Football Club.
"I love Tavernier to bits, but if there's one position in that England team you need to do well to break into, it's right-back.
"Trent Alexander-Arnold is one of the best right-backs in the world, followed by Kyle Walker and also Reece James at Chelsea.
It's very difficult for Tavernier to break into the England squad, but what I'll say is, this year he's performed at European level without question - a right-back being a game away from winning the Europa League golden boot is sensational.
"For me he's been the standout player of the tournament."
