Turkish outfit Trabzonspor are preparing to return with a second bid for Gers captain Tavernier.
Ale Rae reckons Dujon Sterling can be Rangers’ ready-made replacement if James Tavernier calls it quits at Ibrox, writes Andy Newport at Murrayfield.
But utility man Sterling looked assured in his preferred right-back role as he deputised for his captain. Rae said: "Dujon brings plenty of qualities. He came up against a quality Jadon Sancho today and he coped very well, defensively and offensively. We want to get Dujon in the right place physically going into this season and by getting those minutes today against quality players, he will get that.
“We just deal with it as it happens. There is nothing to report as such. Listen, Tav is an integral part of what we do here and hopefully that continues. I have no idea . I don’t even know what the bid is. That is above my pay grade. For me his being at this club is vital. He has been an integral part over recent years, I think 20-odd goals last year, so we will wait and see what happens – on all of them.
But Rae insisted the Edinburgh workout will be vital come the Light Blues’ Premiership curtain raiser along the road at Hearts in a fortnight. He said: “It was a really good challenge against some quality players and from our point of view a lot of the boys, especially the starting eleven, managed to get minutes against quality opposition. As the game wore on I thought we created a couple of chances and when you reflect back on it, they were clinical with the couple of chances they got.
