James Tavernier Finally Speaks After Leaving Rangers — Fans React to His First Instagram Post
James Tavernier has finally broken his silence on social media following his departure from Rangers, with the former captain sending a message that has quickly caught the attention of supporters.
Tavernier took to Instagram with a short but confident statement, appearing to send a clear message that difficult moments do not last forever and that there is still plenty of football left to be played.
> “Tough times never last. The league is just starting and we are just warming up. Watch out as we climb the ladder.”
The message immediately sparked reactions from fans, particularly those who have continued to follow Tavernier’s career after his time at Ibrox.
Rather than sounding defeated, the former Rangers captain appeared determined to look forward. His words suggested that he believes the season is still in its early stages and that there is plenty of opportunity to turn things around.
For many Rangers supporters, however, the post was also a reminder of the leadership Tavernier provided during his time at the club.
The defender became one of the most recognisable figures of the Rangers era, wearing the captain’s armband and playing a major role in some of the club’s biggest moments. His departure naturally generated plenty of debate among supporters, with some fans questioning the decision while others believed it was simply time for a new chapter.
But Tavernier’s latest Instagram post has once again brought the spotlight back onto the former skipper.
Several Rangers fans were quick to praise his mentality, with supporters describing him as a player who never appeared afraid of pressure. One of the most common sentiments was simple:
“What a player. What a captain.”
Others focused on the confidence behind his message, particularly the line about the league only just beginning.
With the season still developing, Tavernier appears determined to remain positive and focused on what comes next. His “watch out as we climb the ladder” comment has also added an intriguing edge to the post, suggesting that he believes his side can rise significantly higher as the campaign progresses.
For Rangers fans, the post may bring mixed emotions. Tavernier’s time at Ibrox ended with his name firmly attached to a significant chapter in the club’s recent history, and seeing him speak with such confidence after his departure is likely to remind supporters of the impact he had.
Whether his prediction of climbing the ladder comes true remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: James Tavernier does not appear ready to give up.
And judging by the reaction from Rangers supporters, many still have enormous respect for the former captain.
“Tough times never last.”
That was Tavernier’s message — and now, fans will be watching closely to see just how far he can climb.
