Former Newcastle United defender Tavernier was signed by Mark Warburton from Wigan Athletic in summer 2015, when Rangers were in the Scottish Championship.
In his 11 years at the club, he has played under 10 different managers, becoming the captain under Steven Gerrard in 2018.
He was a pivotal part of Gerrard’s title-winning team, Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side who reached the Europa League final and won the Scottish Cup, and Philippe Clement’s League Cup victors.
In 2024, Tavernier became British football’s highest scoring defender with 131 goals but, this term, he has not been an automatic starter under Danny Rohl.
“We’ve shared the highs and the lows together and some truly incredible moments along the way,” Tavernier added.
“To all the players I’ve shared the pitch and dressing room with over the years, thank you. The bonds that we’ve built, the battles we’ve been through and the memories we’ve created are what make this game so special.
“To the staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes every single day, thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for the team. Your support often goes unseen, but it has never gone unappreciated.
“And to the fans, your support home and away, through every high and every difficult moment has meant more than I can ever fully express. You are the heart and soul of this club and it has been a privilege to play in front of you.”
