Wigan turn down Tavernier bid

Having released Sebastien Faure and Richard Foster, Rangers are in desperate need of at least one right back, and whilst former Manchester City youngster Reece Wabara is on trial at Ibrox, it seems that Warburton has his eye on another potential signing.

Latics defender James Tavernier was lining up a corner at Moss Lane when the cheeky lad ran on to the pitch and took the set-piece himself.

The Scottish Sun suggest the Glasgow side are ready to up their offer within 48 hours as new boss Mark Warburton looks to improve his full-back options for the new season.

Tavernier enjoyed promotion from that level the year before too with Rotherham, who are also keen on bringing the defender back to South Yorkshire.

Millers assistant manager Paul Raynor said: “James is a player who it is well documented that we like”. But he’s a Wigan player.

Tavernier then signed for Wigan last summer, but made just 11 appearances before being loaned to Bristol.

More likely they produce moments of players sweating the effects of two weeks in Ibiza out of their system.
