Maccabi Tel Aviv Signs James Tavernier, Reuniting Him with Kenny Miller
Maccabi Tel Aviv announced on Monday the signing of James Tavernier, who will reunite with his former Rangers teammate and current Maccabi coach, Kenny Miller. The two previously played together at Rangers, contributing to 16 goals. Miller, then a striker and now coach, assisted Tavernier in scoring one of his career's most spectacular goals.
This memorable goal occurred during the Scottish Challenge Cup final, a competition featuring teams from lower leagues. Rangers, then in Scotland's second division, defeated Peterhead 4-0 to win the title. In the 40th minute of that match, Miller set up Tavernier with a backheel pass, leading to Tavernier scoring from 25 meters out with a powerful shot into the net. The article includes a video of this goal.
Tavernier's arrival marks a significant addition for Maccabi Tel Aviv, as he and Miller look to replicate their past successes together.
