Right-back for the Scottish Rangers, James Tavernier, scored a goal in the 31st round match of the Scottish Premiership against Hibernian (3:1). This goal allowed him to become the highest-scoring British defender of all time. In the middle of the first half, the 32-year-old defender missed a penalty, but a couple of minutes later, he successfully joined the attack and struck the opponent's goalkeeper with a powerful shot, scoring his record goal.
After this match, Tavernier has scored 131 goals in his career, making him the leader in this ranking. By scoring a goal in yesterday's match, the Englishman surpassed the Scotsman Graham Alexander. In the current season, Tavernier has scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists in 46 club matches.
Despite being a defender, Tavernier has become the top scorer in the Scottish league and a champion of Scotland with Rangers. At the moment, the player is the captain of his team, for which he has been playing since 2015.
