Regardless of the lack of trophies
The man will be seen as a legend and rightly so
Triumph over adversity, is a great way of putting it.
No Rangers captain has achieved what he has, simple as that.
The mental toughness to overcome the humiliations, maulings and so on that he has endured over his time with us - developing into the player he is, from where he started.
He captained us to our first league title since the horror of 2012, which we are still impacted by today and I hope (suspect) that he’ll be viewed far more positively by later generations.
Won every domestic trophy there is, restored European credibility, top scorer in a European competition of which he drove us to within a bawhair of winning it.
Praised to the heavens by two incredibly decorated footballers, one of whom made him captain of our club.
His time is almost up, due to his age and miles on the clock but it’ll be a very sad day when he goes.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. He is a Legend of our club and led us to 55. It will be a very sad day when ho leaves and then people will realise what he has did.Triumph over adversity, is a great way of putting it.

And fans tbh. Never known a section of the fanbase so vitriolic towards one of its own players.A great player who's had to endure some of the worst boards, managers and players our club has ever had.
In a different era he could've had 15 winners medals.
I was at the Kilmarnock game in March last season, I'm pretty sure it was within the same week that Tav had just been inducted into the hall of fame. Anyways he'd bagged a penalty and we were 3-0 up at half time. Easy as it gets. And Tav had been solid as a rock all half. Not a murmur from the fans around me.The most under appreciated and over abused player in my lifetime.
Blows my mind tbh that the number of trophies won by the club is held against him so strongly by some. How many other successful clubs have been overly reliant on a right back as their spearhead to success?All round he has been very good player with an unbelievable goalscoring record for a defender.
You also cant ignore the bad though in that he was involved in some of our worst results vs celtic and trophy count is not as good as it should be. A bit like Cooper in that he was here at a time when our team was generally awful.

I think he’s been incredibly good considering the guff that gets said about him.
Depends on what era will be judging his legacy. I suspect history will tend to look quite favourably on him, especially given his attacking output. Right-backs aren't supposed to score the amount of goals he has, penalties or not, and there'll be plenty of times we will miss him when he's gone. He'll always be a Rangers legend.
There'll always be an asterisk that he didn't win enough, though - and I'd be worried if there wasn't, because every generation of Rangers fans should expect their club to win trophies.

not sure that's the greatest argument when they were mercilessly mocked for that small time attitude and lack of winning mentality.For those who criticise the lack of trophies won under his captaincy. Paul McStay won one Scottish Cup v Airdrie as captain of Celtic yet is regarded as a "great" by their fans. Tav will rightly be remembered for his outstanding contributions to our great Club.

Edit: Maybe delete that comment rinoLike Ally Dawson or Craig Paterson?
Both won less, did nothing in europe and still get gigs around the club
Aye and we pissed our troosers laughing at themFor those who criticise the lack of trophies won under his captaincy.

Some slate him for lack of trophies, but when you see some of the shoite he has played alongside, it's hardly surprising.A great player in some poor sides
Agreed. Some will always point to trophy count, but his stats will ensure he is always talked about in the future. Away from football, his family seem really happy here, so even if he does go to Saudi or somewhere else for a final big pay day, think Tav may be involved in and around the club for years to come.
