On long-term talent our Rating reads 17, 38th of 41 of the 41 full-backs in the Premiership. At 34 Tavernier is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2020/21 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Rangers finished 2nd of 12 · a title-challenging side
3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 8 goals and 4 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.45 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 34, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 17.4, Tavernier carries the 38th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premiership of 41. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.52 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
