James Tavernier will be looking to break a goalscoring record for Rangers in European competition when they travel to Germany to face RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Europa League semi-final on Thursday night.
The 30-year-old full-back is currently enjoying another exceptional campaign in front of goal this season, netting 15 times and providing 16 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.
Six of his goals have been in this year's Europa League and all of them have been in the knockout rounds, including a brace for the Gers against Braga in the second leg of their quarter-final tie earlier this month.
Should Tavernier find the net again on Thursday night, he would become the first Rangers player to score seven goals in a single season in Europe, surpassing Alfredo Morelos (2019-20) and James Forrest (1964-65) who had both scored six goals.
Tavernier is also just four goals away from equalling his best-ever goalscoring return in a single season in his career; the Englishman netted 19 times for Rangers in the 2020-21 campaign.
With Morelos, Kemar Roofe and Aaron Ramsey all to miss Thursday's game due to injury, Tavernier will be required to step up in the final third against Leipzig, as Rangers bid to edge one step closer to their first European final since 2008.
