Rangers manager Gerrard may have a fight on his hands to keep hold of right-back Tavernier this summer.

Bruce has reportedly targeted Tavernier in a bid to win over the Newcastle fans after his appointment, according to the Daily Mail.

The 27-year-old is one of Gerrard’s key men as Rangers aim to win the Scottish Premiership next season.

But the defender may be tempted to move back to the club where he started his career.
